Following Seeds: Circuits and Paths of the Sateré‐Mawé Craftwork in Urban Amazonia.

In the 1990s, seed craftwork became an important practice among Sateré‐Mawé women in Manaus, Brazil, following initiatives for their political and territorial organisation in the city. This article ethnographically explores how the production of seed necklaces mobilises an extensive circuit of people, plants, skills and knowledges that challenges strict divides between Amazonian cities and villages. In the city, seed variety reflects the ability of indigenous women to maintain multiple and multilocal relationships. Following the paths of the seeds, this article discusses how Sateré‐Mawé groups produce fluid spatialities and manage relations with human and non‐human 'others' between urban and forest areas.
