Copal Incense Scroll

Incausa collaborates with artisans, villages, and associations of eight different native ethnicities in Brazil's Amazon Basin. Acting as a non-profit patron, Incasa subsidizes logistics and production, and develops sustainable retail and wholesale market-placement. Through this pro-bono initiative, the wholesale price of each piece sold to shops is strictly the cost of the piece plus shipping. Indigenous art represents to the artisans of the Amazon Basin an opportunity to preserve an integral livelihood and an alternative to industries that threaten to undermine these communities. In addition, the work of these artisans represents a connection to their ancestry that spans millenniums, with the power to create dialogue between different cultures and break a cycle of prejudice and discrimination.
