Ancestral Journey
Coming soon
–
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia is a majestic mountain range and the ancestral home of the Arhuaco and Kogi indigenous communities. These ancient cultures consider the Sierra a sacred territory where nature and its elements are revered and protected. Their lives are deeply intertwined with spiritual traditions, where weaving and fibers play a central role. The Arhuacos and Kogis weave not only to create everyday objects but also to express their connection with Mother Earth, thereby preserving a cultural legacy of deep wisdom and respect for the land.
