The Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, invites the entire community to participate in the 2nd Basket and Traditional Crafts Festival, which will take place on September 12, 13, and 14 at Plaza 25 de Mayo and Paseo del Bicentenario, with free admission.
This gathering brings together artisans from the city, the province, and different regions of the Litoral, who will share their knowledge and ancestral techniques passed down from generation to generation.
From Formosa come Sara Torrent, Noemí Luna, and Victorina Rodríguez, artisans from indigenous communities who work with totora and carandillo; also present from Chaco will be Sandra González, with her palm basketry. From San Salvador, Entre Ríos, we will be joined by Marisa Moix, a producer of botanical basketry using natural fibers.
From Concordia, renowned master artisans join us, such as Manuela Tagliapietra and Sonia López, representatives of several generations of isipó basket weavers, as well as Elsa Castro, a reference in the use of yellow and other fibers, and Pepe Paiz, a master leather artisan. Also participating will be Mary Troncoso and María Ester Ramírez from Paraná, Miguel Secoff from Santa Fe, and Concordia native Beatriz Rolón, with her crochet work.
It should be noted that this 2nd Basket and Traditional Crafts Festival has been declared of legislative interest by the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Entre Ríos, as it is an initiative for the rescue, visibility, and enhancement of traditional trades that are part of the cultural heritage of our region.
The schedule for the Festival will be as follows:
Friday, September 12, until 8:00 PM.
Saturday 13: 10:00 AM Opening of the Cultural Fairs – 8:00 PM Closing
Sunday 14: 10:00 AM Opening of the Cultural Fairs – 7:00 PM Closing Ceremony with the presentation of certificates and artistic performances, at the Multipurpose Hall of the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture (Urquiza 638).
The 2nd Basket and Traditional Crafts Festival is a tribute to those who, with their hands, transform fibers, threads, leathers, and reeds into unique pieces that tell stories. A space where tradition meets the community, celebrating art, identity, and collective work.
