In the midst of the health, social and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, two associations of female artisans belonging to the provinces of Sicuani and Pitumarca, located in the south of Cusco, participated during 2020 in a participatory photography workshop thanks to a micro-financing granted by the Ministry of Culture. The present research aims to know how this workshop became a space for reflection on the cultural identity of the group and the ancestral textile as a practice of intangible heritage. From the visuality and the encounter, this process also allowed expressing the difficulties faced by the weavers as a result of the pandemic, as well as the importance of weaving as a living national heritage. The qualitative study was conducted by collecting the main perceptions of the artisans who participated in the workshop, as well as the facilitators of this process. Taking into account the workshop, the participants' testimonies of their experience linked to their cultural identity and ancestral textile and the resulting photographs, the importance of communication and participatory photographic methodology in Andean and challenging contexts is evidenced. In addition, the importance of associativity and female agency in the preservation of an element of the country's intangible heritage is recognized: the ancestral textile.
