Located in the Casanare Department in northern Colombia, the Mardue artisans craft exquisite baskets using fibers harvested from the Moriche palm, a species that grows in and around swamps and other wet areas in tropical South America.
Located in a remote reserve, these artisans have to travel two hours by mule to reach the closest city of Arauca. Due to the weak phone signal in the community and the fact that their home is not reachable by public transportation, these artisans are faced with logistical and organizational challenges that result in limited access to steady work and consistent orders. Currently, most of the family income comes from farming as well as products they’re able to sell during the annual artisan fair in Bogotá.
