Ignazia Posadinu has a BA (Hons) in English and German Literature from the University of Sassari (Italy) and a Masters degree in ‘Linguistics’, from Reading University (U.K.). Ignazia is one of the directors of El Mundo Magico, with interest that range from literature, sacred music to art.
She is particularly keen on the the roots of Peruvian waving arts and contemporary Shipibo textiles. Waiving from the Andes to the Amazon is a way of expression in artistic terms, but not only that, for women waiving is also strictly connected to social organisation. In general it represents a form of economy for the family and the community.
It all started with a magical thread from an ancient Peruvian textile that conducted Ignazia on the path of El Mundo Magico. The magical waiving of the luminous tread evolved in a Shipibo mapped textile and a beautiful ever unseen ancient Inca tapestries.
The Shipibo art (textiles and paintings) connection with Ayahuasca visions reinforced the concept that – like the icaros – most of the patterns of those tapestries must have been dreamt about or visualized/given during ceremonies. Ignazia was also involved in the production and art work of our icaros CDs.
