On the coast of Oaxaca you can find wild cotton plants, which have been growing freely for more than 10,000 years and heirloom cotton plants which have been continuously cultivated in the region for more than 4,000 years.

Introducing our partners Naiana Nami, with whom we host a Oaxaca craft retreat, and have supported in the production of the videos featured here, documenting our Oaxacan artisan partners Los Benitos, Silvia Martinez Diaz and Arte Seda in collaboration with videographer Arturo Lavariega.
