Each painting represents something sacred. The Noke Koî people also have a deep knowledge of snakes. Each painting they make represents a sacred snake, an animal of power, and brings us healing and spiritual connection with these sacred beings as well as protection. They also represent the beauty of men and women. During the workshop, the Noke Koî will share in greater depth the meaning of certain paintings, the history of the kene, and teach participants how to draw some of them as well as receive the paintings on us. This workshop is being offered as fundraiser for the Noke Koî who are joining us at Medicine festival for the first time. All money raised through tickets sales will go directly to their community.

BIO:
The Noke Koî are an indigenous people from the Pano language family living in the state of Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon. Divided into six clans, including the Kamanawa (people of the jaguar) and the Varinawa (people of the sun), they are one of the rare indigenous Brazilian groups whose entire population still speaks their mother tongue, Noke Vana, which testifies to their remarkable ability to maintain their ancestral traditions.
