Exodus of cultural matrices

Indigenous and Afro-Latin populations resistant to the hegemonic culture find in academia an ally to "explain their culture from their own experience, overcoming European categories" (Kush). 

We recognize the cultural narratives embodied in the neighborhoods,

In the Indigenous and Afro-descendant spheres, the CLACSO Working Group on Exodus of Cultural Matrices also engages with mass media to contribute to overcoming an exclusionary collective imaginary. This involves interpreting the Indigenous and Afro-Latin American social movements that emerge from subaltern positions, mobilized from the "Periphery to the Center."

The “political discovery of the popular as an agent of political identity opposed to the industrial mass culture (in the Frankfurtian sense); contributes to discontinuing the construction of a political project in LAC that excludes the Afro, the indigenous and everything non-white (Barbero).

We will study prehistory through rock art, connecting islands and continents, to contribute to affirming pre-colonial hemispheric identity. We will compile knowledge and beliefs from Indigenous and Afro-Latin American populations, forming theoretical frameworks for an intercultural educational curriculum.

The rural and urban territorial anchoring seeks to recreate public spaces with a postcolonial approach. 

We will enable articulation with and from Social Movements through participatory methodologies and associated management, around issues of land and ecosystems.
