Oaxacan cuisine and culture made it to Westwood this weekend, despite the snow
April 28, 2024 - Mariana del Hierro, executive director of Re:Vision, said sentiments like Miller’s are why the nonprofit helps put on cultural events including their ancestral food series, which focuses on introducing traditional indigenous cuisines to the neighborhood and Denverites.
“I think a lot of perceptions in the U.S. is that Mexican immigrants are just this one identity,” del Hierro said. “Here with our events, we have the unique opportunity to show just the complexities of the culture and the culinary traditions and just the people period… It is like a sampling of just the diversity and the beauty that is Mexico.”
