歴史地区の光、空気、現代の便利さ

The property is owned by two friends, Robert and Paul. Robert grew up in New York, studied linguistics and anthropology in Chicago and Berkeley and has lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for 15 years. With long term interests in traditional cultures and crafts, Robert fell in love with Oaxaca the first time he visited and has returned multiple times since. He is currently involved in a project called 'Colores de Oaxaca' that works with local textile artists to expand knowledge of the textile traditions of the region and to take steps to assure the this traditional knowledge is kept alive. He is also working on the development of a program to support young, indigenous people from the region in their exploration of what it means to be indigenous in the 21st Century and how they can access and explore the opportunities that modern society offers while remaining grounded in and connected to their native cultures and communities.

Paul grew up on a farm in South Texas and currently lives on the property next door which was settled by his ancestors in the mid 19th Century. His current focus when in the US is on visitation programs for women and families being held in the federal detention system. Like Robert, Paul has a lifelong interest in textiles and cultures.
