Preparing for a sacred ritual: hours before an ayahuasca ceremony with the Huni Kuin (Kashinawa), I received traditional protective tattoos. The dark lines are made from Genipa fruit ink, a natural pigment from a tree indigenous to the Americas. The red markings, known as urucu in Portuguese, come from the achiote shrub. Each pattern holds a particular meaning.

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.

This lush, layered tapestry of green is something no digital screen could ever truly capture. Standing there, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, the Amazon whispers secrets that only those present can hear.

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.

In #Bolivien stehen 2025 Präsidentschaftswahlen an. Ein Konflikt zwischen Amtsinhaber #Acre und seinem Vorgänger #Morales spaltet das Land, dessen Wirtschaftsmodell - Profite aus dem Erdgasverkauf vergesellschaften - so nicht mehr funktioniert, denn die Gasfelder sind abgeerntet.

Die wachsende Frustration nutzt ein US-Unternehmer um dem neoliberalen Kandidaten Reyes zum Sieg zu verhelfen. Dessen Vater war unter der #Militärdiktatur Verteidigungsminister.
