This work presents various narratives of a referent and leader qom of a community in La Plata, which deals with his migratory experience, the artisanal production in the city and the communitarian collective logics that support them. Methodologically we use what is denominated "produccion de conocimiento conjunto" (production of joint knowledge), defined as a dialogue with the field -in which we understand the qom referents as interlocutors- and a dialogue with the academy -in which those conceptualizations that contribute to interpret the situation under study and overcome the classic researcher / researcher relationship are rescued-. The co-authorship of this work with the Community qom leader and artisan continues other experiences of "produccion de conocimiento conjunto" throw the problematization of the theoretical notions of ethnic identity / ethnicity / social class / experience / collective communitarian logics, which allow to go deeper into the knowledge of the artisanal practice of qom people.
