AYMARA WIPHALA FLAG ART

The Wiphala, a 7×7 rainbow checkerboard flag used by Aymara and Quechua peoples, symbolizes the equality and harmony of the four suyus (regions of the Inca empire) and the spectrum of humanity. Often rendered in textiles, mosaics, and murals, this inclusive Andean heritage symbol was officially recognized in Bolivia and Peru as emblematic of Indigenous identity and hope, its colorful geometry now flying worldwide in solidarity with Native Andean culture.
