Samuel Irturbide, Nahuat Artist

Casa Romero is an artisan workshop that was started in 1993 to provide a place for indigenous artisans to receive training and support in selling their products in a just manner.  Casa Romero began its work with a small group of indigenous artists who were selling their crafts on the street in Cuernavaca and sleeping underneath a downtown church with their children. Casa Romero is one of several projects run by Vamos!, a non-profit organization dedicated to working on community development in poor neighborhoods in and around Cuernavaca.
