It might be an unpopular opinion, I am not a fan of the westernization culture and attire in Peru. I get that we embrace and celebrate our Andean roots and all, but it doesn’t feel (or never feels) enough. Why do I care to conform to westernization ways and influence in our culture . Really think about it , why is it not normal or why is it not normalize to wear our traditional “cholita/cholito” clothes to school or work? Why is it not normalize to learn or speak Quechua in our schools? Even as a 3rd language option. Why don’t we have enough public tv shows representing the traditional Andean community even like a telenovela / soap opera. It feels like culture erasing and / or white washing and / or “blanqueamiento” as they call it. I love being tan and brown , but is why our Peruvian media so white? That is not how we generally look. We are very mixed and dark. Well I am not mixed I am andino , but you get the point. Even in our tv shows and architecture it doesn’t embrace our traditional Andean community enough. There should be Quechua subtitles and an interpreter in our news , tv and media outlets. It feels like social oppression where you have no choice , but to conform to something that you are not. I am fine with our society evolving and growing, however, I want it done in our own way. Not by enforcing only westernization influence (American and European) that is not originally ours or created by us. I am fighting that everyday in our society.

Le sculture degli antichi dèi andini che emergono da una montagna del Perù 

Il Perù è particolarmente famoso per le sue rovine risalenti al popolo degli Inca: tra queste, una delle più famose è senza dubbio Machu Picchu. Lo scultore di Cuzco Michael de Titan porta avanti l'antica tradizione Inca dell'unire arte e natura. Il suo ultimo progetto è chiamato Apukunaq Tianan, ovvero "dimora degli dèi". A circa 40 minuti da Cuzco, il sito del progetto ha iniziato ad attrarre turisti e varie persone curiose di vedere l'insieme di sculture scolpite direttamente sul lato della montagna.
