"I realized that I have to fight with pen and paper and not with bow and arrow" - Yarikazu Xipaya.
Yarikazu Xipaya is a warrior on a mission. Armed with her education, she’s fighting for the survival of her village and the preservation of her people’s ancestral traditions. Despite living 18 hours away by bus from the Law School in Belém, Yarikazu is determined to complete her studies and use her knowledge to make a difference.
To support her studies and her mission, Yarikazu makes paintings using sustainable materials, raising funds to form the Association for the Defense of Indigenous Peoples. Through this organization, she’s working to promote humanitarian and ecological causes, while also preserving the rich cultural heritage of her people.
MABI Swimwear isn’t just about making stylish and eco-friendly swimsuits. They’re also using their brand as a platform to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect the Amazon Rainforest. And they know that one of the most powerful ways to do this is by partnering with indigenous peoples.
Maristela Soares MABI’s Founder & Designer in the Amazon Rainforest
“We are nature lovers. Inspired by all the beauty contained in our planet Earth, we believe that fashion can be a force for the perfect way to spread the word for environmental conservation”, concludes Maristela Soares.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
