Yoco Reyes

Yoco Reyes is a young Otomi designer and member of the N'Dexi community in San Lorenzo Huitzizilapan, Mexico. He is actively involved in the fight to reclaim the administration of the community's cemetery from municipal authorities, advocating for the return to traditional communal practices that honor the community's cultural customs and ensure that burial rights are linked to active participation in community life. His efforts highlight the tension between individualistic approaches to death and the collective rituals that define the community's identity, particularly in the context of their vibrant celebrations during the Day of the Dead.
