MSME Profile
The Maramowe Foundation is home to more than 550 Kamoro weaving and carving artists in Central Papua. Our work program focuses on the preservation, empowerment and promotion of the Kamoro culture which was weakened by the prohibition of holding rituals until the mid-19th century, where carving was an important part of the ritual. Now the onslaught of cultural acculturation and technological advances are again threatening the carving tradition. Selling artworks through the Kamoro Art Gallery, a business unit of the Maramowe Foundation, is one way to help artists continue carving. Buying their works is a form of appreciation for the local wisdom of Papuan culture where the proceeds from the sale will be fully returned to the Kamoro artists.
