Context
Taller Sapara was a listening/recording workshop that was carried out in Llanchama Cocha, Sapara Nation, Amazonia, in May 2021 which focused on young people. All activities are linked to knowledge and experiences of the Sapara Nation about education and cultural exchange. Taller Sapara is not based on “teaching” but sharing. The work is based on deep listening exercises, soundwalks, soundscaping and filming experiments to produce collectively a collection of audiovisual materials like an ecological and cultural document and also a base for future research and creation on a global scale.
