Biography

TAWNA COLLECTIVE is an anti-colonial art collective comprising activists, artists, filmmakers, and dissidents from the Sapara, Kichwa, and mestizo nationalities, with a focus on Amazonian visual narratives, focused on territorial defense and cultural legacy through audiovisual storytelling, using the canoe paddle ("tawna") as a symbol for connecting communities and audiences. They produce documentaries like Allpamanda, train young Indigenous people in filmmaking, and host the Kanua Floating Film Festival to empower Indigenous voices against extractivism, creating cinema from and for the territory.
