Kaypimi Kanchik: We Are Here! Podcast series

This podcast series is a space that stems from my curiosity to know how the stories of personal experiences have been used for shape people’s identities and how these personal experiences have extended far beyond traditional forms of storytelling. With the participation of various people within my community, I am analyzing how identity and culture have been the driving force to adopt newer forms of storytelling and digital media to convey impactful narratives that have served as tools to further strengthen identity and culture wherever we stand. This space aims to amplify and highlight kichwa artist’s and activist’s work while sharing their personal experiences with storytelling and how it has influenced them to do work that is reflective of their identity. This podcast series hopes to explore and analyze how different people have adopted different digital mediums to share their story in an empowering and unique way. This space is not only to share experiences, but to create essence of belonging and acceptance of those who grew up in the diaspora, wishing for media that reflected their story. With this project, I hope to learn more about storytelling and how it has impacted and shaped people‘s identities across all territories. That way we can bridge various worlds together!
