About Quipus
Quipus or knot-record was a method used by the Incas and other ancient Andean cultures to keep records and communicate information (keeping count of numbers of days, events, or objects.) More information: Quipus Wikipedia.

Follow the description to learn how you can create your own message using our translation of the counting system into the Alphabet (based on the latin alphabet). It is an activity and labour for all ages, where we can unite, share time, ancient knowledge and creativity.

During the workshop we used different kind of threads and colors, prepare different measures and a method/code of tying knots. Here are pictures of the letters made by all participants to this event, as part of Mosaic Festival .
