Policarpa
Policarpa was a powerful heroine in history who helped fight for the independence of Colombia from the Spanish crown in 1810. She infiltrated the homes of the royalists to retrieve key information that helped the revolutionaries in their quest for freedom.
Mami Watta Collections is an artistic movement reconnecting with traditional knowledge, producing unique styles of jewelry and accessories that support the artisanship and hard work of our Indigenous artists.
This wearable artwork has been produced by artisans from the Embera Chami tribe of Colombia. It carries hours of work, calculation and imagination. Through the beadworks we can see a lot of references to colours from the natural environment and the Embera Cosmovision.
