The Uitoto inhabit the southern area of the Colombian Amazon. In the department of Amazonas they live in the Caquetá, Putumayo, Igará-Paraná and Cará-Paraná rivers. In the Department of Putumayo they are located on the middle course of the Putumayo River, to the west of the Putumayo Property Reservation. In the Department of Caquetá they are found on the river of the same name, somewhat isolated from the rest of the group, because of the Araracuara rapids. There is also a Uitoto population in Peru. Ethnicity is related to the Ocaina and Muinane groups.1 “The entire Huitoto culture revolves around the maloca, where rituals, dances, songs, and traditional festivals are celebrated. The maloca is the axis of social life, the "temple" of rituals and the mosaic of symbolism, around which all the activities and characteristics of the Huitoto culture revolve. The malocas "cathedrals of the Amazon rainforest" (Palacio, 1989, p. 164) are the multi-family houses that most of the peoples of the Amazon are accustomed to build near the banks of the streams or rivers. The base of the construction of the malocas are wooden posts of «bociai» or «gofaico», species of hardwood trees with black hearts. Nuizirai, the crown: it is made according to the specific festivals; the most beautiful and striking uses abundant parrot and hawk feathers. The crowns used in dances are like the rays of the sun. To rise to the sky to become the sun, the man puts on a crown of macaw feathers. " (Tagliani, 1992) 2 1 Arango y Sánchez. Los pueblos indígenas de Colombia en el umbral del nuevo milenio.

Colombia
Represented by Kore Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky and Elsa Pineres in Barranquilla, Colombia. Colombian artist Andrea Collante creates mixed media works in which the artist combines a range of materials into sculptures. Currently she uses techniques borrowed from traditional textile embroidery, focusing on organic movement, the simplification of forms, and the use of prefabricated and removable modules. Her degree in architecture influences her work as she explores concepts such as space, order, shadow, volume, and geometry. These concepts and ideas are translated into pieces that have been conceived harmoniously and in symmetrical balance.
