The Wounaan Werregue Weavers

The weavers of the Wounaan community in Colombia, are located in the Pacific region bordering Panamá, known for its lush tropical rainforests, rivers, and vibrant biodiversity, which provides the backdrop for these artisans' remarkable craft.

The Wounaan people, have a deep-rooted cultural connection to the land and have held the tradition of weaving with Werregue palms for generations. Skilled artisans use thin strips of Werregue palm leaves to meticulously craft intricate baskets. Passed down through generations, this traditional technique represents more than just a craft—it serves as a cultural treasure, embodying the history, wisdom, and deep connection to nature that the Wounaan people hold dear. Each basket tells a story, often showcasing geometric designs and vibrant colours that reflect scenes from Wounaan cosmology and legends. As these beautifully woven baskets make their way into the global market, they not only support the socio-economic development of the community but also serve as a bridge for cultural exchange.
