Check out my newest article “A Zapotec Artist & Weaver Rebuilds His Own History for Generations to Come,” in the 41st issue of Taproot Magazine, an independent, bimonthly, ad-free print magazine. Taproot celebrates farm, food, family and craft through writing, photography and the arts, both fine and domestic.
In my article, I interview Zapotec weaver, natural dye hero, and farmer Porfirio Gutierrez, a Mexican artisan and advocate specializing in the weaving traditions of Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca. He comes from a long line of traditional Zapotec weavers, and the family is still dedicated to this art.

I’m hoping I make you realize how important it is to invest in people and place for the sake of our planet and all the culture and history it holds.
