Join us for a workshop on the traditional Colombian mochila!
We’re going to explore the deep-rooted indigenous culture of northern Colombia. This involves understanding the significance of the native population and their artistry. A stroll through the historical colonial center precedes our visit to a local café where we’ll sample an indigenous fermented beverage. Our next stop is at a workshop run by an indigenous craftswoman who hails from the Kankuama tribe in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Wayú tribe from the desert region in the northernmost part of South America, La Guajira. She will guide us through the process of transforming sheep wool and teach us how to craft our own miniature traditional bags using a technique that represents 4 primary native tribes. At the end of the session, everyone will be gifted a large mochila woven by a group of women from these tribes, thus taking home a piece of Colombia and helping indigenous families to prosper.
