Seynawiku Izquierdo Torres Seynawiku Izquierdo Torres
Seynawiku Izquierdo Torres (1987) was born in Donachui in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. In 2004 he moved from the high mountains to Kwarte Umuke, where he began to work as a representative of the Kankurwa community while raising a family. Seynawiku is an apprentice training towards becoming a Mamo, a spiritual guide. In his practice he weaves chinchorros, mantas and more. He always aims to teach younger siblings, or westerners, to ‘root the thinking’, enabling them to give importance to the caring for Mother Earth, something which corresponds to all human beings.
