Porfirio Gutierrez, a traditional Zapoteca weaver, believes his culture is on the verge of losing the ancient art of weaving forever due to both cultural and social isolation of the Zapoteca. Porfirio’s hands tell the story of his people and their traditional art form; his artistic sensibilities inherited from ancestors who lived in the ancient Zapotec cities.
