Latin American Ancestral Art as a Form of Resistance

Artesia: Latin American Ancestral Art as a Form of Cultural Resistance Download:
Colombian Gina Vargas de Roemmers presents a unique project in Uruguay that rescues handcrafted pieces from indigenous communities.
Artesia arrives as an act of elegant rebellion. The project, created by Gina Vargas de Roemmers, aims to rescue the soul of Latin America through unique objects handmade by indigenous tribes. Each piece—a pot, a purse, a piece of weaving—holds a story, an ancestral technique, and an identity on the brink of oblivion.

Gina Vargas de Roemmers presented Artesia

Artesia is a living tribute to the legacy of handmade crafts, the identity and collective memory of the continent.

In September, Artesia will open its doors in Uruguay as the first art and philanthropy space focused on indigenous artisanal heritage, bringing together treasures from Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and more. Between Colombian coffees and exquisite curation, this proposal invites you to reconnect with authenticity: beauty that comes not from molds, but from hands.
