Weaving the voices together
we amplify the voices of women, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant communities, and the most vulnerable populations.
Women-led International Alliance
AYELE brings together art, communication, community care, and eco-social action to strengthen the resilience, autonomy, and overall well-being of historically marginalized communities.
We work alongside Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant communities, and other populations facing structural vulnerability, co-creating processes that integrate community communication, mental health, collective healing, environmental care, and practical training. Through workshops, gatherings, residencies, documentaries, and multimedia platforms, AYELE builds a network of support that uses art and media as tools to defend rights, make injustices visible, and strengthen community autonomy, while fostering locally grounded solutions to structural challenges.
AYELE understands climate, social, and mental-health justice as deeply interconnected processes and creates spaces where ancestral knowledge, contemporary practices, and collective action intertwine to imagine and build more just, dignified and in balance with the Earth.
