Empower Shipibo women through creative economy
Organization information
Alianza Arkana
Location: Yarinacocha, Peru
Summary
For Shipibo people, art is an indissociable part of cosmovision, so by empowering art, the entire culture is empowered. Kene Nete works with young Shipibo women in urban contexts, normally students. We empower them to stay in school by making a living out of their art, through creative economy. By having a demand for Shipibo art, there's a need for youngs to look for and improve their techniques with the elders: that way culture can remain alive and women can conquer their economic independence.
