Uekani Studio

Our website www.uekani.org aims to help safeguard the ancestral traditions and cultures of the native peoples of Mexico, to expose the world to these realities that are in danger of extinction by sharing their creations and customs.

We believe that passion professions and traditions are the most beautiful things, that's why we work to make them last again and again.

We are young volunteers (filmmakers, documentalists, photographers, fashion designers, translators ...) lovers of art, history and Mexico, who use all their abilities to give back true value to traditional Mexican art.

Through our website, we share the legends and stories of these communities who wants to share their heritage with the rest of the world.
Through photographs and documentary videos we will let you know the process of crafting and the way of life of these communities.

It is important to us that people who want to buy a product from our shop, can really know who made it, where it was made and how. We seek to bring the buyer closer to the craftsman and to enhance the meticulous work of these noble artists. Every item of our shop is handmade, it is almost unique!

This project is the result of a mutual and fair agreement, so that everyone can find and be enriched in a way. We work with ecological and ethical values, so every product you find on our shop is made with natural materials, in a way that respects nature and the craftsman who designed it.

We respect craftsmen and their ancestral know-how immensely, thanks to Etsy we offer them the opportunity to have their own online shop and to touch the world with their art. Each community, being very different from others and so has its own section in our shop.
