On March 22, 2025, at the MUNA Auditorium (National Museum of Ecuador), the panel discussion "The Preservation of an Endangered Craft" took place—a forum dedicated to exploring the value and challenges of artisanal traditions. Moderated by Christian Parreño, PhD in History and Theory from the University of Oslo, the panel brought together María Isabel Paz (director of Quito Fragmented, holding an MArch from RISD), Trinidad Ordóñez (anthropologist, PUCE), Augusta Bustamante (social responsibility manager at Diners Ecuador, anthropologist and communicator), along with the Collective of Carpet Makers of Guano. Open to the public and attended by media and prominent figures in art and culture, the discussion tackled key topics such as the history of collaboration with the Guano artisans, the appreciation of artisanal work, the legacy of woven carpets, the balance between preservation and innovation, and the importance of conscious consumption to support the economic sustainability of art and craft. Financial education for artists was also addressed, highlighting the need to strengthen the viability of these professions in the contemporary world.

On Wednesday, March 19, 2025, around 4:30 p.m., María Isabel Paz was interviewed by Andrés Carrión on Radio Platinum 90.9 FM and Radio Quito 760 AM. The conversation revolved around the Quito Fragmented project, its exhibition at MUNA, and the importance of valuing and preserving the artisanal tradition of woven carpets in Guano. The interview helped highlight the cultural and social impact of the project, emphasizing the need to support the work of the artisans and their textile legacy.

In 2024, the program El Actuario, broadcast by National Television of Ecuador, presented an interview with María Isabel Paz, hosted by Juan Sebastián Naranjo. During the conversation, key topics regarding the collaboration with the artisans of Guano were discussed, highlighting the collections inspired by Ecuador developed together with the artisans. The importance of designing carpets that resonate with the modern market and the challenges of preserving this tradition in the face of the risk of extinction were also discussed.

Throughout March 2025, Quito Fragmented was presented as the Work of the Month at MUNA (National Museum of Ecuador), thanks to the sponsorship of Diners Club. The exhibition featured three pieces displayed in different spaces within the MUNA museum network in Quito: Quito Fragmented at the Casa de la Cultura, La Dama at the Museo Camilo Egas (Historic Center), and La Caro at the Centro Cultural Mariscal Sucre (Quitumbe). The main exhibition was installed in the Entrance Hall of MUNA, accompanied by three weekend workshops that attracted over 200 visitors, and specialized classes during the week that involved around 250 students. The initiative aimed to bring the public closer to textile art and the work of the Guano artisans, promoting dialogue about tradition, identity, and cultural preservation.

On March 15, 2025, at the MUNA (National Museum of Ecuador), the workshop "Design Your Carpet with Pixels" took place, a free public event in collaboration with Arquiguaguas, a project dedicated to teaching architecture to children. Inspired by the work Quito Fragmented, the workshop allowed attendees to meet the carpet makers from Guano and the designers behind the project, while learning about the design and weaving process of carpets. Participants transformed images of Ecuadorian flowers into pixelated patterns on grids designed for the activity, thereby exploring abstraction and color. In addition, the carpet makers from Guano guided the attendees in using the loom, teaching their iconic round wool knot and passing on their invaluable artisanal knowledge.
