Indigenistas tampoco
non-fiction video essay, 2025



“Indigenistas tampoco (Indigenistas neither)”
video essay
6’45”
2025

Indigenistas tampoco departs from a reflection by Peruvian historian Cecilia Méndez, who criticized how Peruvian Creole nationalism has historically exalted the Inca legacy at the expense of marginalizing Indigenous struggles and voices in Peru. Building on this critique, the film extends this tension toward indigenismo as a foundational project of nationalist representation, pointing to how both Creole and indigenista narratives have tended to instrumentalize Indigenous resistance as a symbolic foundation of the nation. This contradiction was clearly identified by Aymara thinker, activist, and writer Fausto Reynaga in the 1970s.

The film situates this problem in the present through the symbolic repatriation of the remains of Fernandito Túpac Amaru, son of Túpac Amaru II and Micaela Bastidas, held in the city of Cusco in April 2025.
