Jorge Escompani is a "Shiringa" master, "Shiringa" is a tree that produces natural latex. This is considered a tradition that preserves great passion and environmental awareness.

POSTALS AND PHOTOS
This is a great journey towards cultural diversity through the practice of this art. A journey we embark on alone without any help or support. That is why, the 15% of the whole sales is going to Jorge Escompani, who is the man who maintains this art. As documentarians, the money raised will be used for the preservation of different traditions and ancient practices through documentary formats and workshops.
Also, if you want to donate we will be very grateful for your support.
30% of the fund will be to Jorge and his family
