Nonatuma. Weavings in Warao Art is a volume from the C&FE Collection that explores the history, art, and memory of the Warao people, inhabitants of the Orinoco Delta. Through essays by Toti Vollmer and Mariapía Bevilacqua, the book offers a historical and geographical perspective on Warao life and provides a detailed analysis of the collections pieces, including baskets, hammocks, and ritual objects crafted from natural fibers such as tirite and moriche. The volume brings together decades of collaborative work among researchers, collectors, and Indigenous communities, and acknowledges the legacy of Nereus Bell, Kathy Hayes, and the Asociación Civil Yakera in promoting Warao art under principles of cultural respect and fair trade. Edited by Isabela Eseverri, curated by Don Bell, and designed by Teresa Mulet, the book includes a catalog featuring more than two hundred pieces, along with maps, a timeline, and a bibliography. Nonatuma reaffirms the power of art as a tool for resistance and memory, inviting readers to discover the living ancestral aesthetics of the Orinoco Deltas woven traditions.
