With the presence of the Mayor, Dr. Francisco Azcué, the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, the Director of Culture, Daniel Bogado, and the Head of the Department of Crafts, Ezequiel Sierralta, the closing of the 2nd Basket and Traditional Crafts Festival took place this Sunday, after three days of fair and exhibition at Plaza 25 de Mayo and Paseo del Bicentenario.
On this occasion, certificates were awarded to the participating artisans, both local and from other provinces, highlighting the value of their work in the preservation and transmission of traditional trades that are part of the cultural heritage of the Litoral.
The Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, highlighted: “This Basket Festival not only makes the work of our artisans visible, but also reaffirms the commitment of this administration to culture as a tool for identity and development. Concordia is enriched with every basket, with every weave, and with every work that is born from the hands of those who keep these ancestral techniques alive. It is a source of pride to be able to accompany and recognize them in this space that is already consolidating itself in the city's cultural calendar.”
The artistic closing was in charge of Bautista Giménez and his ensemble, and the Municipal Chamber Choir, under the direction of Juan Pacazzocchi and the vocal technique of Prof. Mariano Sequeira, who performed works from the popular songbook and music from the Litoral, creating an atmosphere of celebration and emotion that crowned the day.
The Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, thanks everyone who was part of this 2nd edition, a true celebration of identity and tradition.
