A<\/span>ccording to Way\u00fau culture, weaving is much more than a cultural activity and legacy from its ancestors. For the Way\u00fau, weaving is a way of bestowing life, as experienced by them.<\/p>\n

The inspiration<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They do so through creativity, intelligence and wisdom. As a result, each handcrafted object included in a Way\u00fau handbag or craft is one of a kind, original and exclusive.<\/p>\n

For the community members that weave a thread is a sacred element. This is extremely true and special for the Way\u00fau indigenous people.<\/span><\/strong> This is how we enter this story, the story behind the Hilo Sagrado (Sacred Thread) Foundation in Colombia with the Uyaraipa community (Way\u00fau indigenous people<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Hilo Sagrado Foundation was established in January 2013<\/span> <\/strong>by the Italian sociologist, Sabrina Prioli. As a matter of fact, it all began when Prioli moved to Colombia and fell in love with the Way\u00fau culture.<\/p>\n

After understanding and getting to know the community, she then decided to create an organization that could provide improvements in their quality life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The idea behind it: not only a great sense of satisfaction, but a sense of belonging. To have a positive impact on someone else\u2019s life as well.<\/p>\n

Only 365 days<\/span><\/strong> after the establishment of this foundation, she worked closely with the sisters, Ana Maria and Emilia Torres.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On January 2015 Sabrina decided to pass on the management of the Foundation to the Torres sisters. They in return, included a third member to the team of Hilo Sagrado.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The work of this foundation is a definite team effort, there are people involved in different countries. However, three women are masterminds behind its success. They are: Natalia Bertel, Ana Mar\u00eda Torres and Emilia Torres.<\/p>\n

For some reason, there are more women involved in this project as men, this doesn\u2019t mean that men aren\u2019t involved. It\u2019s just that at least in our case we (women) have had this need to help other women who face several difficulties.<\/p>\n

Hilo Sagrado (Sacred Thread) seeks to rescue the cultural heritage of communities in Latin America. They want to achieve this by empowering women.<\/p>\n

This group of empowered women should develop sustainable textile production through the modernization of production facilities and better qualifications. They want to take into account the use of clean technologies, ethical trade promotion, and social welfare.<\/p>\n

The problem<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The indigenous and artisanal groups in Latin America have conveyed and collected the ancient techniques and culture through centuries.<\/p>\n

Their social implication echoes in our culture.<\/span> <\/strong>However, most indigenous customs are vanishing, as western civilization creeps in.<\/p>\n

As a result, the hard and time consuming labor of women weaving wonderful, delightful fabrics and textiles filled with traditional embroidery will be ancient history.<\/p>\n

\n

The idea was to continue with the work that she had already developed. When we grasped the situation of the Way\u00fau women, it was clear that we had to continue with this labor.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A perfect example of this situation takes place in the visually striking desert of La Guajira Peninsula which borders Colombia and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

This slice of land is home to the Way\u00fau people. The Way\u00fau are the largest ethnic group in both Colombia and Venezuela.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are self-governing and skillfully tray to keep the western influence under their control. It is the Way\u00fau themselves and their rich culture that add the color to the Guajira.<\/p>\n

The Way\u00fau indigenous people have managed to distance themselves from the rest. They have kept their customs and even their own language, the Wayuunaiki. The women are hardworking, dedicated, wise and disciplined.<\/p>\n

Each woven design carries a meaning which extends far beyond its aesthetic beauty. The colors and designs are superb. Behind every mochila bag is a cultural message and a part of their soul and life story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This indigenous culture is organized in matrilineal clans. This means that the Way\u00fau children carry their mother\u2019s last name, making the Way\u00fau women not only the center of the family but cultural leaders as well. Matrilineality is the tracing of descent through the female line.<\/p>\n

It may also relate with a societal system in which each person is identified with their mother\u2019s lineage. In other words, a matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The crafts<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

There are many things that we have learned from this community, they have had the best attitude towards improving their life quality.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A traditional Way\u00fau settlement is made up of five or six houses that made up by \u201ccaserios\u201d or \u201crancherias\u201d<\/span><\/strong>. Each rancher\u00eda is named after a plant, animal or place. And, a territory that has many rancherias is named after the mother\u2019s last name given the matriarchal structure of the Way\u00fau culture.<\/p>\n

That being said, the problem, as expected, runs even deeper. Projects done by artisans can be understood as a prized form of development for indigenous people.<\/p>\n

Additionally, traditional handicrafts production requires very few machinery and they mostly use available raw materials. This in return encourages local demand and generates employment in other sectors.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Production is usually done in the home and alongside household activities.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

An important reflection is that for numerous indigenous peoples is that organizing their work in order to be sold is somewhat complicated.<\/p>\n

If this organization is achieved, the profits acquired from the sale of handicrafts can be channeled into other activities<\/span><\/strong> that may in return benefit an entire community with other local development programs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most significant aspects of culture that the Way\u00fau women practice is the art of weaving Way\u00fau bags.<\/p>\n

But that is not all. It\u2019s no secret, as a matter of fact it\u2019s well known that Latin America and the Caribbean Region preserve a rich cultural and natural heritage. From archeological pre-Hispanic sites, and breathtaking natural sites, amongst others, the basis for further strengthening sustainable development exist.Despite all of this, this development doesn\u2019t take place.<\/p>\n

\n

The community is beautiful, they received us with open arms\u2026 there are many cultural shocks, things that you just don\u2019t imagine\u2026 as a Colombian you think you know about the Way\u00fau culture but in fact you don\u2019t!<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the world economy still struggling to recover from the economic shocks of the past few years, momentum is growing for a new industrial revolution. A revolution that is sustainable and inclusive.<\/span><\/strong> This means supporting growth within the constraints of the planet\u2019s limited resources and putting people at the heart of development.<\/p>\n

However, this is easier said than done. Central to a sustainable industrial development is the urgent need to tap and cultivate the economic potential of women (half of the world\u2019s population).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making things happen<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Hilo Sagrado team strongly believes in giving back to the indigenous Way\u00fau communities. In addition to being Fair Trade, Way\u00fau Tribe is committed to selling only 100% authentic Way\u00fau Bags and art.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the work done by the \u201cHilo Sagrado\u201d Foundation surpasses the rescuing of the cultural heritage of communities in Latin America and consequently empowering entrepreneur women.\u00a0The idea is to develop a sustainable textile production.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fundaci\u00f3n Hilo Sagrado \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In order to achieve this, the foundation strives to increase the capability and modernization of the production facilities. Furthermore, the use of clean technologies, ethical trade promotion, and social welfare is extremely important.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hilo Sagrado Foundation prides itself in using creative thinking and interdisciplinary methods to construct sustainable development. Together with the communities, they develop projects in order to improve their quality of life and to achieve long term goals.<\/p>\n

For them, the work done with women from the community is vital. They are after all the motor.<\/span><\/strong> The fact of the matter is that women are, and will continue to be powerful drivers of development.<\/span><\/strong> When men and women are upheld to the same standards (equality), economies develop faster, fewer people remain in poverty, and overall well-being increases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A vision of change<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a matter of fact, Hilo Sagrado has a vision of change. The idea is to have sustainable textile production developed with high ethical standards that allow producing communities to preserve their culture, identity and generate a positive impact on society.<\/p>\n

Each Way\u00fau mother teaches her daughter how to weave keeping the tradition as alive and vibrant as ever. To the Way\u00fau, weaving is a symbol of wisdom, intelligence, and creativity.<\/p>\n

\n

Women are the center of the Way\u00fau culture. They are strong figures, they are respected, they are so important. Men have certain jobs, obviously, but women are the heartbeat of this indigenous people.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Legend has it that, the weaving bag tradition comes from \u201cWale\u00b4ker\u00fc\u201d, a spider that taught the women how to weave their creative drawings into the Way\u00fau bags.<\/p>\n

Each design incorporated into every Mochila bag is unique to the weaver<\/span><\/strong>, telling a story through the bag\u2019s colors, patterns and shapes. The weaver takes careful precision in her storytelling, making sure that the Mochila bag is a strong representation of Way\u00fau culture.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At first glance, the Guajira<\/span><\/strong><\/a> may seem decisively monochrome; everything in shades of desert beige and thorn-tree grey. Here, the sunsets paint the sea a remarkable blood red.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Way\u00fau women work full days while weaving their Way\u00fau bags and can take up to a full month to complete one single bag. Today, Way\u00fau bags have become a means of financial support for the Way\u00fau people, which enables them to preserve their way of life. The empowerment of women is decisive for this indigenous community but also for women in other places.<\/p>\n

A<\/span>s a matter of fact, when women are empowered to make an income they accrue assets and increase their economic security. Not only that, they tend to have a smaller ecological footprint than men. Their production and consumption patterns are often more resource-efficient. Consequently, when more women take part in the economic decision-making process, it has positive an effect on sustainable economic development.<\/span><\/strong> This is happening as we write and speak in the Way\u00fau community in Colombia one \u201cHilo Sagrado\u201d at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

She studied Mass Communication with an emphasis on Journalism at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia. From a young age, she was deeply motivated to tell stories, explore the world, and give a voice to those who often go unheard. Her commitment to Human Rights has been a constant throughout her career, actively participating in social projects since early on. This dedication is reflected in Solkes Magazine\u2019s editorial focus on independent journalism, cultural diversity, and in-depth storytelling. Born in Bogot\u00e1, Laura lived in Madrid, Spain for three years, and has been residing in Germany since the summer of 2010. This multicultural experience has enriched her perspective and played a key role in creating a trilingual magazine that transcends borders and connects readers from around the world. ******************************************************************************************* Gr\u00fcnderin und Chefredakteurin von Solkes Magazine Laura Viera ist eine leidenschaftliche Journalistin aus Berufung und Ausbildung. Sie hat Soziale Kommunikation mit Schwerpunkt Journalismus an der Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogot\u00e1, Kolumbien, studiert. Schon in jungen Jahren war sie stark motiviert, Geschichten zu erz\u00e4hlen, die Welt zu erkunden und denen eine Stimme zu geben, die oft ungeh\u00f6rt bleiben. Ihr Engagement f\u00fcr Menschenrechte begleitet sie seit Beginn ihrer Laufbahn. Sie war von Anfang an aktiv an sozialen Projekten beteiligt. Dieses Engagement spiegelt sich auch im redaktionellen Fokus von Solkes Magazine wider, das unabh\u00e4ngigen Journalismus, kulturelle Vielfalt und tiefgr\u00fcndiges Erz\u00e4hlen in den Vordergrund stellt. Geboren in Bogot\u00e1, lebte Laura drei Jahre in Madrid, Spanien, und lebt seit Sommer 2010 in Deutschland. Diese multikulturelle Erfahrung hat ihre Perspektive bereichert und war entscheidend bei der Gr\u00fcndung eines dreisprachigen Magazins, das Grenzen \u00fcberschreitet und Leser weltweit verbindet.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.solkes.com"],"url":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/author\/lauraviera2019\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12615,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722\/revisions\/12615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solkes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
