Meet The Maker

The Esperara Siapidara Weavers

The "Paja Tetera" is revered material within the "Eperara Siapidara" indigenous community, located in the Cauca region, owing to its unique quality that enables its transformation into everyday items such as plates and baskets. This remarkable material has been utilised in the creation of a variety of visually striking objects that are not only functional but also highly regarded as art pieces.

We collaborate with the MITES group, comprised of five families originally from Timbiquí, who now reside in the south of Bogotá due to forced relocation. From a tender age, they learned their craft watching their grandmothers and mothers skilfully weaving in their everyday lives. This significant tradition is perpetuated through the passage of time, from one generation to the next, representing an invaluable cultural heritage.
