Paraguay’s National Tourism Secretariat (SENATUR) is promoting community tourism as a way to support local development, value ancestral knowledge and preserve the cultural identity of Indigenous peoples.
At the Guaviramí tourist information and crafts exhibition office in Itapúa, Graphic Design and Digital Animation students from the Universidad Autónoma de Encarnación interviewed Mbya Guaraní master artisan Gabriel Acosta.
The aim was to document traditional shapes, figures and colours and the weaving techniques used in basketry and tapestries, helping pass this knowledge from one generation to the next.
