| Sumario: | On the outskirts of La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina), artisans from the Dalaxaic´ Na´ac (New Day) community and weavers from the Nqyañec´pi Naqota´at (United Brothers) community of the qom people have been benefited with various public policies: the national program "Market for Traditional and Innovative Argentine Crafts" and the provincial program "Strengthening Civil Society Organizations." In this paper, we analyze the implementation of these programs among artisan and weaving families from a heritage perspective, paying attention to how the programs have been received and what activities they have allowed people to carry out. This allows us to observe how cultural and social policies that have not been designed with a heritage-centered axis or purpose allow qom people to continue producing clay crafts and fabrics in the city. Practices and goods recognized by the qom families as belonging to their people and their indigenous identity, which are linked to their territory of origin in Chaco, which have been passed down through generations, and which form part of their cultural heritage. |
