In Camagüey, the biggest cloth doll of the world

The biggest cloth doll of Cuba and of the World, made by 20 artisans of Camagüey,will be exposed in this city of Camagüey the coming February 3, like part of the programmings of the Week of the Culture of the municipality.

This will extend from the first and up to the seven, dedicated to greet the arrival of the anniversary 496 of the Historical Center of the old village of Camagüey and to the first of its declaration for the UNESCO like Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity.

The doll is fruit of the tesoner making of the activist Carmen Soto González who from her project CARSUEÑOS - belonging to the Provincial Center of Houses of Culture - for several years carries out an arduous community work that includes, fundamentally, the handmade chore.

For its making was indispensable - besides the competition of the artisans - the collaboration of many citizens, by means of recortery donations and other elements, with the objective of facilitating its billing.

Given the extraordinary dimensions of the Cloth Doll of the Project CARSUEÑOS, it will be hoisted with a crane February 3, at five in the afternoon, in the central Square of the Workers. (Yolanda Ferrera Sosa)
