Pachamamita Designs

latina femme creations-celebrate identity-borderlands-indigenous solidarity- decolonized fair trade A fusion, a hybrid, much like my own bi-cultural experience.

My creations are "re-mixes" of authentic traditional textile work with urban street wear. It's a way for me to embrace my culture and my roots in a way that also honors my present day experience and ideally to share that with others coming from similar backgrounds. I am particularly drawn to Latin American indigenous textiles because of my Colombian heritage. I choose to integrate these textiles i

nto my work because I have a lot of respect for the hard working hands, most often women's hands, that are responsible for creating these beautiful woven creations that carry so many stories, culture, and history. Pachamamita visions include story-telling and activism through long-term fair-trade relationships with the women and communities where these textiles are made. Through these relationships, resources can be shared with the communities and their stories can be shared with the rest of the world.

Come thru to connect with fellow QTPOC who live in Central Brooklyn + our friends, & to support local QTPOC makers such as Pachamamita Designs!! Will have a bunch of hats & patches—only a few pairs of earrings but luckily we will be vending next to Brown Q***r Everything who will be selling their gorgeous handmade earrings!

With one unjust event after another it's hard for me to find it appropriate to promote my work. And then I'm reminded that it is important that we come together to celebrate art that affirms the resilience of Brown & Black communities. I'm really excited & honored to be a part of the pop-up shop portion of the Browntourage programming at the Brooklyn Museum 1st Saturday—one of my favorite monthly community events in Brooklyn! There's a lot of amazing exhibits up right now, Kehinde Wiley (whose art is on this flyer), Zanele Muholi, Chitra Ganesh, & Basquiat's notebooks. Peep the flyer for all of the details ✊❤️✊

Pachamamita table at the Handmakers Market this past Sunday! Limited edition premiered & still available! These pieces were made from a patch I purchased directly from the artisan who stiched it, in Iquitos, Peru. Shipibo textiles are hand embroidered works of art that reflect the communities' relationship with ayahuasca & other plant medicines. They often depict different "icaros" which are the songs sang during ceremonies. The patterns also reflect the ayahuasca vine & the chakruna leaves that the vine is mixed with to make the medicinal brew.

TOMORROW! Pachamamita Designs will be posted in Greenpoint // Brooklyn // NYC @ Golden Drum, returning to the second edition of Handmakers Market!! 19+ local vendors, performances, healing artz offerings, tropical bassey beats & tasty vegetarian snax! ✋✨✋✨✋✨✋✨✋✨✋✨✋

Words can't even express how I excited I am to participate in Afropunk's marketplace this weekend!!!! When I went for the first time 2 years ago, I was incredibly inspired by all of the local and independent vendors I came across—their creativity, their DIY displays, and witnessing them making their dreams come true. I thought to myself, "I would love to have the opportunity to share my work here one day." And lo and behold, tomorrow is that day. While there are critiques of Afropunk, I'm grateful for spaces like it as well as MoCADA Museum's Soul of BK Festival, where the phenomenal talent of a multiplicity of Black artists (in addition to other artists of color) is spotlighted and celebrated. Artists like, Shabazz Palaces, SZA, Cakes Da Killa, Lianne La Havas, Thee-Satisfaction, A Tribe Called Red, The Internet - Odd Future, Princess Nokia, TECLA, Juliana Huxtable, my homies Geko Jones & Chief Boima with their Africa Latina project, as well as my PAPI JUICE hunnies, Oscar Nñ & Adam Rhodes!!! Come say hiiiiiiiii and peep some new pieces I've been working hard on—over 30 new pairs of earrings & over 30 new snapbacks. Charmaine Bee from Gullah Girl Tea will have some yummy tea blends for you and the sisters from A. Bernadette will have some of their wonderful fair-trade goods. Oh and a shout out to TextaQueen for letting me remix their amazing piece, "Sub-Cultural Charms!!" Texta Queen's postcards will be available at our booth as well! See you there
