Social anthropologist, PhD (Universidad Nacional de Colombia), with extensive experience in project coordination and university teaching. I am specialized in designing, implementing, and evaluating cultural policies within multicultural contexts, focusing on intangible cultural heritage (ICH). My doctoral research examines ethnic diversity representations and their impacts, analysing cultural policies and ICH safeguarding. In Colombia, I led cultural strengthening and ICH safeguarding with Indigenous and peasant communities. Internationally, I coordinated multinational ICH initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing technical guidance. Currently, I serve as Technical Director of CRESPIAL, promoting and protecting cultural diversity through participatory approaches.
