The J. Amado Araneta Foundation spotlights woven handicrafts through 'Habi Fiesta!'
Weaving is among the crafts that truly capture the Philippine story.
Each of the main regions of the archipelago has its own unique weaving heritage, with designs that mirror indigenous customs, spirituality, and even dreams. Threaded into these textiles is the ancient Filipinos' relationship with nature—using raw materials with respect and reverence for the land that sustains them.
To this day, these handwoven textiles continue to fascinate, thanks to the artisans who keep the craft alive and reimagine it for contemporary use. In celebration of National Heritage Month, the J. Amado Araneta Foundation, through the Gateway Gallery, shines a spotlight on this age-old tradition with "Habi Fiesta!"
