STORIE DI ALPAQUEROS
Miko Meloni | Peru | 2013 | 7'
The word "puna", in Quechua, identifies all those areas located at more than 3500 meters hight. In these lands the alpaqueros breed their own animals and preserve ancient traditions: the processing of fine wool and their social organization. Their stories have the flavor of an archaic mythology, as well as a strong resistance to the progress.
