“Relatos en voz alta”, Cochabamba CRT latest storytelling KMb intiative

GenUrb’s Cochabamba City Research Team led by Dr. Nasya Razavi has launched its latest knowledge transfer initiative relatos en voz alta.

Conducting research on Covid-19 in Cochabamba, Bolivia, made it clear that vaccine hesitancy persists and few resources are available in Indigenous languages like Quechua, especially online, despite the over 1.5 million Quechua speakers in the country. The Cochabamba team linked up with local artist Phuyu (Instagram: @phuyu.no) to produce a series of vignettes on coronavirus in Quechua & Spanish. Follow this space for the upcoming podcast la casa en cuarentena that will share women’s stories of daily life in quarantine during the pandemic.
