About [Edit]
TAPPT, The Association for the Preservation of Peruvian Textiles is a project of IAPIC - International Association for the Preservation of Indigenous Cultures, a non-for-profit organization determined to preserve the wisdom of the ancients.
Estabilshed only a few years ago we have had much progress, as we work hands on, by interacting directly with the people.
Today we stand at a critical moment in world history where the survival of the planet depends on an urgent shift in the awareness and activities of modern civilization. Over-consumption and misuse of natural resources are disrupting the balance between humans and Earth. The current rate of global exploitation is projected to wipe out all natural resources within 300 years. We are at a point at which modern civilization needs desperately to learn how to restore the balance of the planet that supports it.
IAPIC recognizes the important role that the wisdom traditions of indigenous cultures can play in the restoration of a balance on Earth through their example of harmonious existence with their environment. While the arrival of modern civilization has contributed much to the deterioration of global habitats, it has also developed technology that can be utilized to help restore the natural balance that it has disturbed.
Our aim is to nurture a symbiotic relationship between modern technology and native wisdom, as conservation and innovation must coexist if we are to survive.
The mission of IAPIC is to ensure that the inevitable convergence of indigenous communities with the modern world is one of mutual benefit.
