What brings people together? Communities together? Traditions. Especially ones that revolve around food. One such tradition is when a Tibetan family gets together (not just to eat but) to make everyone’s favorite Tibetan dish – momo!

Momo-making embodies the theme of community, warmth and ritual. A ritual of love passed down from generation to generation, with designs varying from region to region, or family to family. It’s not just about preparing a meal, momo-making is an integral way of bonding in our circle.

Mapcha and Yakpo Collective have come together and teamed up to bring you the quintessential memories, and rituals of our culture in the form of jewelry pieces, and videos embodying our traditions.
