Hawk and Puma is a minimalist game that pays tribute to Guaman Poma, the indigenous chronicler of the Andes. Through a research-creation process, this game reimagines Guaman's journey, exploring themes of racism, sovereignty, and religion from decolonial aesthetics and Andean-inspired music. This project has been developed in collaboration with members of the ÑawpaÑan community in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco, Peru, allowing us to create the final version in English, Spanish, and Quechua, and plan upcoming ludic workshops with community youth as part of the ethical research-creation process.
