2021/02 issue: Back to Local

“Back to Local”—the theme of this Lantawan issue—refers to the saving return of a forgotten appreciation for the place where we live. In fact, the word “local” originates from “locus,” which is “place” in Latin.

About the cover:
“PUSO”  (rice pouch /hanging rice) best represents Cebu. “It is an embodiment of the cultural identity of the Cebuanos as part of the heritage of living traditions.  A documentary analysis of rice pouch was used as a ritual object among the village farmers in Taptap, an isolated barangay in Cebu City. This art of puso weaving has long  been present since the 13th century prior to the arrival of Spanish in 1521”. (Inocian) Weaving inspired crafts, fashion, fixtures, furniture, interior, architectural design, and even methods in building constructions. This interpretation came into fruition in the front and back cover presenting “BACK TO LOCAL”.
