You’ll head to Cantagallo, the neighborhood where the Shipibo-Konibo settled a long time ago. It is about a 45-minutes drive if the traffic is not too bad but we promise you won’t get bored observing the bustling streets of Lima. You'll meet several members of this urban indigenous community and learn more about their culture, traditions and recent history. You'll hear how these strong Shipibo artisans are fighting to preserve their traditions and keep their culture alive. They struggled and had to start again from the bottom, but they have found a good way to get ahead by showing and teaching their art. Not only the typical Shipibo textiles and handicrafts, but also modern Shipibo fashion.
-
The very recognisable Shipibo style, which is the foundation not just of their art and handicrafts but of their indigenous culture is named Kené. It was declared a National Cultural Heritage in 2008 and refers to geometric patterns painted or embroidered on the face or body, ceramics or textiles. The designs of kené represent an energy or a positive force. It can be expressed, among others, through embroidery, painting, jewelry and body painting. You will get the chance to try out some of these techniques yourself. This is accompanied by Ikaro singing, medicine songs usually performed by shamans in healing ceremonies. Like all indigenous, they are very spiritual people, even if they live in the big city now.
