The Quipus are ancient systems of threads and knots that are thought to have been used by the Incas and ancient Andean cultures to keep records in their predominantly oral culture . The cords were made from cotton, llama or alpaca hair and were used for everything from tax and census-keeping to storytelling, where the threads and knots were prompts for memory and language.

The Quipu Project was born as a reaction to the sterilisations and the human suffering that has occurred as a result.
It would have been easy to simply make a documentary about it. But we wanted to try to achieve something more meaningful – something that could actively benefit the campaign for justice

The Quipu Project is an experiment aiming to create a ‘living’ documentary – a story that continues to grow and evolve after its ‘release’ online. This approach allows the story to emerge organically and to continue telling itself, as the contributors and people around the world listen and respond to each other. The open-ended structure also reflects the fact that, for the collaborators, this remains a story without an ending until justice is achieved.
