Guapi, Cauca Colombia: Weavings that honor the earth and the body. In this Pacific coastal town, the women of the Eperaara Siapidara community transform paja tetera into objects infused with meaning. Gathered from wetlands, the natural fiber is sun-dried and braided with ancestral mastery, preserving techniques passed down through generations.
Among their most emblematic creations is the Cesto de 4 Tetas, whose organic form embodies fertility, abundance, and feminine strength. Beyond utility, it stands as a profound symbol of the bond between body and land, and of the wisdom of the women who have cared for both across time.
