Marcelo M. Miranda, Jully Acuña Suárez, and the Ayentš Collective

Marcelo M. Miranda, Jully Acuña Suárez, and the Ayentš Collective are researchers, artists, and cultural practitioners committed to advancing Kamëntšá rights, decolonial methodologies, and collaborative knowledge production. Their work at the Tsebionán Curatorial Centre is rooted in Kamëntšá ethics and ontology, engaging in research, artistic practice, and community-driven curation that challenges colonial legacies and sustains Indigenous knowledge systems.

Through interdisciplinary approaches spanning archaeology, anthropology, museums, cultural heritage, environmental history, and the arts, they explore the intersections of language, territory, and identity. Their initiatives include experimental and collaborative workshops, artistic interventions, and critical engagement with cultural heritage, fostering spaces for dialogue, care, and resistance. Their work at the Tsebionán Curatorial Centre serves as a platform for Indigenous-led research and creativity, promoting cultural resilience and reclaiming narratives that have been historically marginalised. Together, they strive to strengthen Kamëntšá knowledge and language, ensuring their continuity for future generations.
