They have been internationally recognized for their technical skill and sublime craftsmanship since the late 1970s, when designer Nereus Bell, anthropologist Kathy Hayes and the Yakera Civil Association helped to ethically promote and market their art, long before the idea of \"fair trade\" became popular. Designed to open like a basket, with two blocks of pages bound both vertically and horizontally, this 500-plus-page tome presents more than 200 examples of Warao weaving. Building upon Bell and Hayes' documentary research some 50 years prior, it unites subsequent decades of joint work between researchers, collectors and Indigenous communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788419539359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532","brand":"Isabela Eseverri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774299795637,"sku":"9788419539359","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nonatuma-weaving-in-warao-art-9788419539359","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
