Collaborative art project where Christi records information with a native language learned from her grandparents -Khipu, an indigenous recording system from The Incas Empire made in textile that colonizers tried to destroy during the invasion. Nowadays is lost. She taught this language to hundreds of people of all around the world for three years in order to reassess her culture, to give voice to her ancestors. Also, Christi recorded information of every experience and connection with students through this unique language - knots, levels and colors.
The meaning of every string is related to the cicle of living and the power of nature. All materials are natural, cotton string and earth pigments.
