Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer in the future.

Un hermoso ejemplo de la heterogeneidad de nuestra identidad se encuentra en el Istmo de Tehuantepec. Ahí, entre los valles de Oaxaca, la Sierra y las costas istmeñas, quedan sólidos vestigios del pueblo zapoteco. La técnica artesanal pasa de generación en generación, de familia en familia, enlazando la habilidad y la experiencia con el conocimiento ancestral de miles de mujeres zapotecas. Ninguna flor es igual a la otra, todas son únicas e irrepetibles como cada ser humano, así definen su arte las mujeres del Istmo de Tehuantepec.
