Likhang HABI Kalayaan Online Fair is also joining the national Dama Ko, Lahi Ko<\/em> campaign, strongly supporting its invitation for Filipinos to express their Filipino-ness through the five senses. Through this online fair, Filipinos will be able to learn more about their culture, feel the \u201cPinoy pride\u201d as they get to see more of what weaving communities can offer, wear more local by looking into everyday wear with weaves, and love local by buying Filipino-made products first and foremost.<\/p>\n

Since 2009, HABI has been providing traditional weavers and local weaving communities platforms like the Likhang HABI Market Fair to enhance their skills, innovate to keep up with trends, and ultimately, give the wider market access to their works. But with the ongoing pandemic, organizing trade fairs have been unlikely. This is why HABI had quickly pivoted by going online in October 2020, helping to sustain the local weaving economy, and enabling more people to see how these local weaves and products can fit easily into their lives and spaces as we transition into what we hope to be a better normal. The Likhang HABI Kalayaan Online Fair runs from June 12 to 20, 2021 on this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
