Healing consists in sharing knowledge

Abstract

This article reviews the process of material construction, working conditions, social relations and intellectual thinking that merged during the creation of the Pukuy/Soplo de Curación project; a mechanical sound sculpture that combines art, technology, anthropology and knowledge about musical instruments and Salasaka cosmogony. This review of the artistic work allows us to discern, step by step, the theoretical, pedagogical and sonic inputs that support the creation of an artistic project, evidencing the social, musical and healing spirit of the Salasaka pingullo.
