#HuniKuins

A stunning Huni Kuin bracelet that I brought from my travel to a community in Brazil. Look at the beauty of this handmade treasure, it reminds me of what one can achieve with patience. I put it flat for the photo, but I'll take another one later wearing it so you can properly see it.

Continued thread

The ayahuasca has cooled down and is ready. It's around 8pm, the ceremony will start soon, the medicine man has already set up the altar in the maloca. Sacred and meaningful objects are placed in its centre (tobacco, feather fans, containers, icons...).

I can feel nervousness and excitement in my belly.

Generations of wisdom woven into every thread. From ceremonial headbands to traditional garments, every Huni Kuin piece is a masterclass in patience and precision. No machines, just skilled hands and ancestral knowledge passed down through time.

Nature's laundromat: the sun is always on duty! Who needs a tumble dryer when you've got that sweet Amazonian breeze and year-round sunshine? 🌞👕
These traditional dwellings are called malocas. That's where the Huni Kuin people live in the rainforest.

Meet my friend Ikamuru, his wife and youngest son. His family play an important role in preserving the Huni Kuin traditions. Through their daily life in the rainforest, they maintain the delicate balance between honouring ancient customs, living in harmony in nature and adapting to modern challenges.
