MONIGOTE
My object is the stick figure I remember when I was 7 years old, I made my first stick figure with my cousin and my cousin's father and the last one I did with my two cousins when we were 13 years old and it was the last one because later my cousin had to leave In another place it looked very nice because it is made of cardboard, newspaper and starch. and the usage is that they put a camera on him and take him to the street at 11:58 (to be exact) two minutes before the end of the year to beat him and then set him on fire we beat him because it is said that the puppet it represents all the bad things that happened to us that year and to start a clean new year, this tradition comes from Ecuador and my whole family is connected to it because we got together as a family and began to make the doll there is not a year that is not bought or make a doll of those
