Shinan Imabo

Shinan Imabo (Our Inspirations) is a collective of over 35 Shipibo-Konibo women artisans, including embroiderers, painters, singers, and designers, based in Lima and Pucallpa, Peru. The collective emerged in 2021 to preserve and share Shipibo-Konibo artistic traditions, particularly the intricate geometric designs known as Kené. The Shipibo-Konibo, an Indigenous people from the Amazon region, have historically lived along the Ucayali River, maintaining cultural exchanges with neighboring groups and developing a profound knowledge of the relationships between human life, the Amazon forest, and spirituality.
