Producción de un libro fotográfico de artesanías del cantón Sígsig.

Abstract

A photograph is worth more than one imagines. It allows us to express and demonstrate the reality of our surroundings to keep memories, moments, and emotions of yesterday and today. It will enable new generations to recreate events and experiences. This photographic book aims to exalt the masters of ancestral and hereditary art in different parts of Ecuador. However, this research focuses on the arts of the canton of Sigsig, highlighting the talent of admirable characters in this sector. Unfortunately, many artisans have disappeared over time due to rigorous changes in society and the social behavior adopted by the new generations, influenced by globalization, the rise of the technological era, and adaptation to it. In this context, the small number of artisans still preserving the trade remains to be determined. They fear being replaced by industrialization and becoming the last generation of artisans with a legacy and trajectory likely to be forgotten.
