Interculturality, extension practices and sign language: story of a shared experience among pre-Columbian musical instruments, quipus and dinosaurs. Rev. Mus. Antropol.

The Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, belonging to the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, occupies a prominent place to carry out linkage actions in university extension. In this area we have carried out workshops with the purpose of promoting the participation of children in scientific knowledge. The implementation of the workshops has focused on inclusion and dialogue, especially for young people with hearing disabilities, following the principles of cultural accessibility. To achieve this, we have adopted the practice of disseminating information in a bilingual and intercultural manner using Argentine Sign Language (LSA). These workshops encouraged the exploration and understanding of the Inca world, focusing on the quipus as an accounting system and on the pre-Columbian sonorities of northwestern Argentina, approached through a detailed analysis of their musical instruments. In the same way, activities were carried out on present and past animals that inhabited the territory, through visits to rooms and interactive spaces of the Museum of La Plata. This comprehensive work proposal continues with the activities of communication in Science, a commitment to provide proposals for the diversity of audiences, promoting the inclusion and dissemination of scientific knowledge.
