Alfredo Seguel

ORA Latin America 2026 Fellow

Chile

With over 30 years of experience in territorial defense, Alfredo was a co-founder of Konapewman (1996–2008) and the CITEM communications team (2002–2008), and the creator of Mapuexpress—the first digital newspaper in Wallmapu (2000–2018). Between 2012 and 2016, he participated in organizational efforts and opposition to forestry projects, landfills, and large-scale industrial developments. His work in communications expanded through his involvement with Radio Minga in Chiloé (2017–2020), while his educational work includes co-founding the Nor Fën Educational Space and the magazine Minga Ancestral. For the past five years, he has contributed to El Ciudadano and collaborated with Indymedia Argentina. This diverse range of roles strengthens his work as an activist, communicator, and educator; he maintains that the integration of communication and education serves as the backbone for the defense of collective rights.

Minga Ancestral, in coordination with Nor Fën, is promoting an educational and communications program designed to strengthen rights-defense efforts in southern Chile (Gulumapu) by integrating ancestral and conventional knowledge. The initiative includes a diploma program covering intercultural health, territory, and the environment; a school of communication; the professionalization of Minga Ancestral; and a socio-environmental gathering. Through this training and exchange process—involving 50 participants from various communities and collectives—a network and dedicated platforms will be established. Key strategies include training, production, coordination, and sustainability.
