The Yawanawa community is full of art, not only the handicrafts, but the art of singing, the art of storytelling, and dancing. There are Yawanawa dances and songs full of the great power. It is so important that people are aware of this. It is ancient knowledge, and it needs to be passed on.

"Art is very important to our people because it is linked to our spirituality. Like the tepi, kuripe, the bracelets, the spears, everything is linked to spirituality, everything is linked to our culture, our tradition." - Hushahu
