Construcción de Significados Culturales a partir de los Tejidos que Elaboran las Mujeres Nasa de Tierradentro como estrategia de Comunicación para la Pervivencia

Nasa women from Tierradentro, Cauca, employ traditional weaving as a powerful means of ancestral communication and cultural preservation. Their textiles, rich with symbols and meanings derived from community interactions, historical narratives, and guidance from elders, serve as a strategy for the survival of their people and territory. The term 'umna' in Nasayuwe language signifies the ability to connect spiritual, physical, and territorial dimensions, reflecting a dynamic relationship with cosmic elements like the moon and sun. This practice is sustained through collective learning and community pedagogies, ensuring its continuity across generations. The study underscores the significance of these textiles as both a cultural artifact and a vehicle for maintaining dignity and identity.
