Regarded by numerous scholars as the most significant celebration in the Cusco region, the Quyllurit&#8217;i attracts an estimated one hundred thousand participants to an altitude of 16,400 feet, with a growing number of female dancers participating. In this essay, I argue that these dancers adhere to a conceptual framework known as ch&#8217;ixi epistemology, an Aymara concept that denotes articulating seemingly contradictory elements to exert a disruptive force. This study follows an all-female group of young dancers, the Chunchachas of the Paruro Nation, in their pilgrimages of 2023 and 2024, demonstrating how, by engaging with a ch&#8217;ixi framework, they reproduce their traditions and repertoires while carving out a space for themselves in a highly masculinized fiesta.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 9, 2024 | 4 PM Helen C.
