Leo is a woman with a gentle touch. She lives in the town of Cerinza in Boyacá, where 90% of the community is dedicated to the art of basket weaving in esparto grass. She leads a small, women run workshop called La Cestería de Leo, through which these talented weavers make sure to keep this cultural tradition alive, whilst as heads of households, sustaining the wellbeing of their families.
