This is a bilingual (English / Spanish) poster series designed for the Las Manuelas Project and Show Us Your Type. The project highlights the Manuelas, alpaca farmers who live in the high Andean region of southern Peru. Master knitters, they craft textiles by hand with love and precision, using the pure and natural alpaca wool from their own animals. The posters are intended to become textile designs produced by Las Manuelas. The messaging in the posters emphasizes aspects of how this project aims to connect cultures though textile and fashion ("Everything begins with a connection between souls / Todo empieza tuna conexión entre almas"; "This is not just fashion, it's memory / Esto no es mode, es memoria").
