Xochimilcas Views
In “Xochimilcas’ Views,” we present a curated collection of video portraits. Each view tells a unique story of connection, intuition, and the unbreakable bond between individuals and their spirituality. These views belong to those who not only observe but are deeply committed to preserving the rich tapestry of traditions that form the foundation of our history.
Their eyes reflect a profound understanding of the roots that connect us to the land, and their intuition guides the relentless effort to conserve the spiritual treasures of Xochimilco. With each view, we glimpse the strength of a community dedicated to safeguarding its cultural heritage, "El Chinamperio," for future generations.
In their gazes, one can see passion, faith, and the love of those who have remained hidden for over 500 years in their quest to protect their legacy.
The world has turned its back on them, but if you are able to see them, what do you plan to do about it?
