The exhibition "My bed is a garden - Mi cama es un jardín. The textiles of the women of Argentina’s dry forest (Santiago del Estero, Argentina), by Carolina Orsini, senior curator of MUDEC (Museum of Cultures), offers the visitor an overview of the textile production of the Argentine monte through a selection of bed covers from the private collection of Andreina Rocca Bassetti, donated to MUDEC in 2016.

Their portability and their visual appeal make these products a real icon of values and knowledge that are carried out by local female weavers, extraordinary artists who have always known how to innovate and modernize this tradition.
