Jose Ramirez Alejo, Paracho, Michoacán
In Nurio, Michoacán, where natural fibers are part of everyday life, José Ramírez Alejo creates work deeply connected to the land and tradition. Through broom-making, he transforms local materials into functional pieces that reflect knowledge, patience, and generational continuity.
Working from his family workshop, his practice combines inherited techniques with processes that require physical endurance and precision, creating objects that preserve both everyday utility and cultural meaning.
