Empowering native women artists is our pathway for the preservation of ancestral craftsmanship. In 2020, we began a creative union alongside a collective of Shipibo Conibo artists to support and sustain Kene textiles through timeless pieces.

Kene is the design system created by the Shipibo Conibo Community of Ucayalli (Peru) to represent the healing properties and energetic vibrations of therapeutic plants of the Amazon Rainforest. Kene textiles are a medium to communicate this design language. It is an ancestral practice taught from mother to daughter. Our purpose in preserving this beautiful heritage is to encouraging the younger generations to continue to pursue their mother’s teachings.
