Procesos de gestión cultural comunitaria, como aporte a la revitalización identitaria del pueblo de Zámbiza en Quito (1969-2019).

Abstract

The following article addresses community cultural management as one of the various views that cultural management has. It presents the original people of Zámbiza, who have historically resisted, guarding experiences of cultural revitalization that strengthen the struggle and defense for their territory, and are a sample of community work as an essential axis of cultural management. The text constitutes a first approach to the processes of community cultural management, and makes a brief tour of the artistic-cultural groups, analyzing the festive space, a continuous practice that reinforces community ties and that keeps symbolic elements typical of the universe of meanings of the native identities and the Andean world; and the collective project Tzampiza that was born in 2018 as a contribution to the defense of the common through community art. Therefore, it is presented as a reference framework for an example of community cultural management in Zámbiza. Throughout each letter and thought that is released, some challenges are also raised for the work of the manager and the manager of the community culture, making a call to cultivate a deep commitment and sensitivity that build us as people and as a community.
