Description: This poster was made to promote a cultural festival. The illustration is inspired by the weaving of the popular Panama Hat, made in Ecuador, in the province of Manabi, where I live (The art of weaving the traditional Ecuadorian Toquilla hat was added to the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage lists on 5 december 2012). It represents mother nature weaving a bamboo house in the position that a toquilla straw hats weaver must adopt in order to elaborate the hats. This particular house is called "The house of The Grand parents" (La casa de los Abuelos) and this is where the cultural festival is held every year.
