This thesis is an interdisciplinary exploration of the quipu, an Andean storytelling device, as a situated knowledge practice. Experimentally I expand the use of the quipu as a research methodology that allows me to enact performative research in education. My practice with the quipu (knot in Quechua) is not pure and does not try to decode it or use it in a traditional way. Inspired by the work of Latin American thinkers, feminist and decolonial scholars and postqualitative researchers, I embark on an experimental practice of knowing that challenges the socio-politics of knowledge production.
