This study examines the experience of the Taller de Historia Oral Andina (THOA) in Bolivia during the 1980s, highlighting its role in constructing a critical intercultural approach to history education. Founded in 1983 and initially led by sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, THOA employed archival research and oral history metho dologies to recover silenced Indigenous memories, particularly those related to Indigenous leaders such as Santos Marka T’ula. The project challenged official narratives that marginalized Indigenous stru ggles, promoting a reinterpretation of history from subaltern perspectives. Additionally, THOA developed initiatives such as radio dramas, exhibitions, and community celebra tions to return research findings to Indigenous communities, thereby strengthening identities and political mobilization. The THOA experience is understood as an example of critical interculturality, as dis cussed by Catherine Walsh, by confronting colonial and racialized structures while valuing Indigenous epistemologies.
