Culture makes reality, it governs identity: preserving it is sacrosanct. Giving more space to Art, artisans, music, writing and painting is fundamental to preserve uniqueness. Indigenous population form 5 to 8% of the whole population of Panama. There are approximately nine indigenous groups in Panama who classify under 7 types of cultures: Kunas, Ngobe, Bugle, Embers, Wounaan, Talamanca, Bokota and Teribes. These ethnic groups fight every single day to protect their ancestral lands and their cultural identity. The work that @desdeelsurconamor does gives value and voice to these communities, and does so by respecting and promoting the women artisan of the Kuna population amongst others. I wrote a poem for them, but also for all indigenous women who through their art and meticulous work preserve culture. I am honoured to have collaborated in this project and hope to do more in the future.
