The story

The front shows Puerto Salvador Allende, the port on Lake Managua in the capital, with its long pier and boats. The back shows a La Vaquita dancer holding a mask, a folk tradition of the Fiestas Patronales de Managua, the city’s patron saint festivities. Together the designs present Managua’s waterfront and its living festival culture.
