Journey into the Amazon rainforest with Claudia An

Journey into the Amazon rainforest with Claudia Andujar, who for five decades, photographed and accompanied the Yanomami, an indigenious people who live on the border between Brazil and Venezuela, in the struggle for their rights.

I am deeply impressed by the work of Marina Anujar.

I admire the fact that she dedicated 50 years of her life to a cause that was not hers. The photographer and activist is Swiss born.
Thanks to her multiple trips and stays with the Yanomami she developed a very close relationship with the people that are reflected in her photographies and videos.
Thanks to this inimacy she was able to denounce economic and political projects that were leading to the breakdown of Yanomami social fabric and putting their living territory in danger.

The sensitivity of her work is breathtaking.
Thanks to the intimacy she has developped with the Yanomami people Marina Andujar has caputred the soul of every Yanomami and documented the mundane and the spiritual aspects of their lives. You don't visit an exhibition, you live with them in the rainforest.

Without her we would not know about the Yanomami.

Don't miss it if you go to Paris @fondationcartier

Sunday early morning, the perfect moment to wander

Sunday early morning, the perfect moment to wander in the narrow streets of the medina.
Before the hustle and bustle, enjoying silence and every day life of locals.

Bedtime stories... Our Orpheus handembroidered pil

Bedtime stories...
Our Orpheus handembroidered pillowcase travelled to Russia with @tania panova who shot this picture.
°
°
It brings me back memories of the 3 years i have been living in Moscow...
Snowy week-ends at the datcha, operas at @Bolchoi_theatre, my days spent with so many russian painters in their workshops, hunting for artworks and data about russian painting and life of the artists during soviet area.
A piano concert of @richter_sviatoslav at the @pushkinmuseum surrounded by Henri Maitisse paintings.
An unforgettable "morning vodka" on the rooftop of a building with @soldafono @npochechueva (RIP dear Natalia, i will always remember you, you were such a "extraordinary" human being) and @Tania Panova.
My morning and evening walks on Patriarch pond when the neighborhood was still quiet and "shopless". Only Margarita café on Malaya Bronnaya, 2 houses away from the house where i lived. Bulgakov was all around...
Sweet memories...
°
°
And very pleasant to have my linens travel to share a infiinite fragment of my life in Moscow. The picture captures my mood and soon i will go back i think... °

This is the very first picture of a V.Barkowski ho

This is the very first picture of a V.Barkowski home linen product. It was shot in 1998 in Marrakech. Tania Panova, my partner in crime, was on a artist residence at the Sahart Foundation. I gave her a few table napkins and placemats telling her that she could shoot them as per her imagination. This is the image she gave me.
What i liked about it and still do is the fact that there is nothing commercial about it. Just the idea to make a nice shot.
•
•
More than 20 years ago this picture is still actual, so are the linens with my iconic tassels. The very first style i imagined during a trip in Asilah, in the north of Morocco.
•
•
This picture brings up nice memories, the journey of my home textiles, the journey of our friendship and work with Tania. A lot of laughter and creativity, enjoying our work together until now. Probably with more intensity and consciousness, measuring the chance that we have to be able to unite our brains and to share creativity.

Our table linen is available at the @valeriebarkowski store in Marrakech.

What about changing life, leave everything behind

What about changing life, leave everything behind and fly away for a life set up in a beautiful landscape surrounded with only what nature has to give.
*
*
*
That would mean to disconnect. Are we able to live like that ?
*
*
*
*
Two years ago i flew to Senegal and left my phone at home. I stayed on a lagoon with only pelicans, baobabs and books. Perception of the instant without connexion became completely different, my attention became sharper, my perception of time changed as well. Strange to say i feel about it like an experience. A context like that is not natural to us anymore, Isn’t that a strange thought?

For those who don't know...
@darkawa_riad , where this picture was shot, is also one of my projects.
My former home that became a small and exclusive boutiquehotel.
Of course, all the textiles are from my linen collection like this handembroidered tablecloth.
°
°
°
For this embroidery i was inspired by the ancestral fez embroidery of Morocco. I selected one of the traditional stitches that i twisted, enlarged and scattered randomly.
Thid embroidery is also available on table and bed linen.

A few years ago in the desert of Mauritania. A road trip from Marrakech to Nouakchott with long spans in the desert.
How much i love silence, void and life in these infinite landscapes. The feeling also to touch life at its essence

We just launched our amber bath linen. Here Pollux style photographed in @darkawa_riad by @taniapanova
Adding a new bath linen color is always a challenge as we need to buy a fairly large amount of stock upfront. Always a risk, always a bit fear... But we are happy with this Amber color. One of our clients purchased some sets for a pitch black mat bathroom. Love the idea.

.The Amber collection is available at the V.Barkowski store in Marrakech.
The V.Barkowski store is located in the medina next to @mustaphablaoui, our dear neighbour/ We are open every day from 10am until 7pm.
We also ship worldwide, please send us a DM if you want to purchase these towels.

Abdelhadi, some of you may know him or recognize him.
At my side since 23 years, he is the very first person who started to work with me when i dropped my suitcases in the red city of Marrakech.
So many stories, so many life situations we have been through.
He is an amazing human beign, kind and smiling, always willing to help, to please. And he is a perfect model as well. Don't you think so?
