The singing and storytelling of the Matsigenka represent their people and their art. It is a fundamental part of their cosmovision and way of understanding life. At Xapiri Ground, we intend to convey this project, which unites ancestral indigenous wisdom with their present reality, that we may proliferate the roots of their cultural identity.

This campaign was organized on behalf of the Matsés people of the Javari Valley and in partnership with Acaté Amazon Conservation to assist with their relief efforts in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic that has left 160+ Matsés stranded in the Amazon gateway of Iquitos, Peru.

Photos X Action offered the unique opportunity to own a photo print from recognized photographers in support of the Shipibo-Konibo; an indigenous nation in the Amazon greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All proceeds from our fundraising effort went directly to the Shipibo-Konibo emergency fund in partnership with Alianza Arkana.
