Oral histories, interviews and contemporary life along the Qhapaq Ñan, the inca road system
Since his first trip along the Qhapaq Ñan, Sébastien Jallade has complemented his geo-photographic work with interviews of people living in the region. He recorded about thirty hours of interviews of priests, miners, students, musicians, children, painters or farmers, as well as religious ceremonies, community radio programs, speeches at village markets or pilgrimage sites. Part of this work was used for the documentary film, Qhapaq Ñan, la voix des Andes.
From 2008 to 2010, he pursued this activity in the framework of his geo-photographic inventory of the Qhapaq Ñan and of his second documentary film about a community radio in Quillabamba.
All audio recordings and videos - some are translated, others are in Spanish only - can be found in this section, duly annotated, documented, commented and indexed. The idea is to put the spotlight not on the Qhapaq Ñan per se, but rather on oral histories, social and cultural lives of the people living there and on their relationships to their environment.
The inventory will be gradually completed by December 31st, 2011.
