um, one of the things, Peru is well known for different kinds of cultural diversity and often times associated with the highland regions and with Quechua speaking people, and oftentimes

[00:01:15]
{SPEAKER name="Javier Leon"}
because we have that sense of cultural diversity, we tend to forget that there are other kinds of other smaller minority groups and who are oftentimes as a result of that, kind of render a little more invisible in how people see Peru,

{SPEAKER name="Javier Leon"}
or even how people kind of works internally. All the presenters here today are people who in different ways have been working with different projects to use to kind of give more visibility to their communities.

[00:01:38]
{SPEAKER name="Javier Leon"}
Lo que acabo de explicar es que en el Peru se conoce la diversidad cultural de Peru, pero muchas veces le herencia que más se reconoce es la herencia indigena,y Quechua, y que a veces otras comunidades minoritarias sea por ejemeplo indigenas amazonicas, o afroperuanas, no son tan bien conocidas, y que eso lleva a la necesidad de distintos tipos de proyectos para resaltar y combatir esa idea de invisibilidad.
