| Summary: | The creation of clothing has been a fundamental need since the beginning of humanity, evolving into a social phenomenon that reflects cultural identity. In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Arhuaco, Kogui, and Wiwa communities have preserved traditional crafting techniques that transcend functionality and carry profound cultural symbolism. However, their knowledge remains underrecognized due to their geographical isolation. This research aims to link the ancestral knowledge of these communities with the technological training in fashion provided by SENA Magdalena. The primary objective is to combine indigenous techniques with sustainable fashion principles, identifying traditional processes and adapting them to the creation of innovative textile collections. Additionally, this study seeks to integrate indigenous communities into a knowledge exchange that enriches inclusive and eco-sustainable textile production while exploring new market niches based on these ancestral practices. |
