Qhipa Pacha

Peruvian Andean and Amazonian Futurism

Manifesto

 

Qhipa Pacha is a collective that brings together Peruvian—and Peruvian-based—creative writers and artists of speculative fiction (science fiction, utopic and dystopic fiction, futurism, uchronies) whose works depart from and/or explore themes, motifs, characters, and traditions nourished by the cultural patrimony of the diverse indigenous peoples of Peru.

Our collective aims to recover the memory of our original peoples to build possible worlds that imagine and/or project, in a variety of formats and media, Peruvian Andean and Amazonian futurism beyond the influences of speculative fiction of cultures  other than ours.

Qhipa Pacha takes its name from the Quechua word that designates a range of possibilities about the future. As such, it defends both progress and tradition and acknowledges scientific and technological dissemination by means of Peruvian Andean and Amazonian fiction as its main focus of interest.

Soon, the Qhipa Pacha collective will inaugurate its activities with a web portal with information about its members, creative works, publications, and projects in progress, including its first volume of Qhipa Pacha short fiction.
