Heritage(s) and memory(s): The trajectory of the Nam Qom community of La Plata (Argentina) from the artistic- cultural

In the city of La Plata, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, there has been a presence of indigenous people of the Qom People since the early 1990s, with the Nam Qom Community being the first to settle. In this work we analyze a mural from this community in terms of heritage and the memories that are expressed in it. The ethnographic work sustained with this community for more than thirty years, as well as the dialogue with specific bibliography, allows us to point out that the mural expresses part of the history and memories of Nam Qom and materializes its utopian projects by bringing the past to the present of the community. community (his hunting ancestors, the mountain with its flora and fauna) to project himself into the future. Likewise, this artistic-cultural expression synthesizes knowledge and practices that are part of the "reference cultural heritage" of the Qom People and that have been selected from among a multiplicity of other goods and practices, due to the importance that the community attributes to them.
