Informazione generale

The lack of autonomy and a decent living in the countryside, the loss of biodiversity, the cultural and social isolation in rural areas in Colombia, has encourage us to propose an annual meeting without entrance fee (16-18 January), to find dialogue and solutions for these and other problems of the region.

This meeting will be held on a farm in the coffee region of Risaralda-Colombia, with the purpose to link the knowledge of various local communities such as: farmers, indigenous, technicians, artists, and others, that will enable us to generate networks and synergies for mutual development and support for solutions to local issues.

From workshops, lectures, performances, experiments, hikes among many more cultural activities, these 45 people will share knowledge, rescuing the values of collaborative work in harmony with nature.

Descrizione del progetto. Caratteristiche, punti di forza e peculiarità.

The event will take place from January 16th to January 18th 2014, on a farm located in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda-Colombia. This region belongs to the beautiful coffee zone in Colombia.

This first meeting of three intense days with 45 people, seeks to integrate multiple knowledge, ethnic groups and communities, where participants will be able to propose or participate in workshops, activities, talks and a number of cultural activities around the following themes:

  • Archive and oral tradition
  • Territory and autonomy
  • New technologies and ancestral knowledge
  • Sustainable Agriculture

What is the structure of the activities during the three days festival?

Two general meetings per day morning and evening.

3 workshops per day.
2 round tables every day.

Motivazione e a chi si dirige il progetto

In February 2013 we met with indigenous leaders and farmers in the region of Risaralda with the intention of listening to the problems of the region and shape the Minkalab project together.

The main issues that emerged were:
● The cultural extinction.
● Cultural access and new technological knowledge.
● Lack of autonomy and a decent life in the countryside.
● Loss of biodiversity.

The difficult access to information in rural areas does not enable indigenous and farmers communities to share their problems and ancestral knowledge, creating instability and lack of motivation in their constant struggle to have autonomy, to protect nature and their cultural traditions.

That's why we want to connect the city to the countryside, in a natural space where strong links, relationships and free exchange of knowledge will be created, between ancient and contemporary cultures.

Obiettivi della campagna di crowdfunding

The opportunity to achieve this first Minkalab event, will give us the experience to establish a free and annual event where we can work, learn, discuss and generate innovative collaborations and proposals that improve the quality of life in the countryside and the city.

This event hopes to create a network; the production of cultural, technical, and ancestral knowledge, as well as an archive in a virtual and physical library, that will give a free access to all the things that we will learn and build together.

Esperienza previa e team

To lay the foundations of the MinkaLAB project , in February 2013 we met at the farm with various individuals and entities. Among them participated the “Municipal Unit of Agricultural Technical Assistance” and the “Regional Indigenous Council of Risaralda”, among young cultural managers and artists.

This successful meeting revealed the importance of a space for dialogue that will generate a network for community support.
