In the Andean mountains of Peru, Inca traditions form an integral part of the culture and daily life of its people. During my time in the local community of Pampayacta, I was deeply moved by the cultural reverence demonstrated by the family I lived with towards their customs and ancestral past. A profound sense of community permeated every aspect of life there. The use of embroidery is not just decorative; it is a vibrant expression of the rich heritage and traditions passed down through generations.
