Kunami Che’e tells the story of Juana Cossío Galán, a woman from Pinotepa de Don Luis, Oaxaca, a Ñuu savi community in the Mexican Pacific Coast. Parallel to her story we listen to her granddaughter Nadia, who sees with a lens of her own the life decisions of her grandmother. The two voices weave themselves through the production process of the region’s typical waist loom textile: the nagua.
