Dear CIPRI Friend, It's been a while since our last e-mail to you but we come with exiciting news! For the first time since we formally began our systems-change work in April 2018, the Cultural Intellectual Property Rights Initiative® is in Mexico to disseminate the 3Cs - Get Weaving! Campaign and conduct consultations in Chiapas with 100+ Indigenous Artisans around our framework for fair and equitable collaborations between creative industries and Indigenous Peoples: The 3Cs Rule Consent.

Direct participation of Indigenous Peoples is essential for developing legal frameworks and tools that serve their interests and needs. The Campaign has been translated into two Mayan languages, Tzeltal and Totsil, by the Chiapas Photography Project and Sna Jtz’ibajom. It will now be subject to consultations on best practice scenarios and applications in the local cultural context in Chiapas. You can support our work by donating via this GoFundMe Fundraising Campaign: Consultations with Indigenous Artisans in Mexico |

The Cultural Intellectual Property Rights Initiative® Team and all associated partners are conducting this work 100% pro-bono. However, securing financial support is necessary to ensure that we are able to conduct this fieldwork and consultations in optimal conditions. This includes:

In January 2022 the Mexican Congress passed The Federal Law for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican Peoples and Communities. However, since entering into force, the law has generated much confusion among Indigenous and Afro-Mexican Peoples and fashion industry stakeholders. Significant gaps exist between the legal theoretical framework and its translation into practice. The 3Cs Rule Consent. Credit. Compensation© is a tool meant to bridge this gap. |
