您好，我叫姚元元（Angel Yao），來自貴州省，位於中國西南部，擁有豐富多樣的少數民族文化，中國省內有49個不同的少數民族。我出生於貴州省，然後在德比大學獲得旅遊管理碩士學位。在英國工作了4年之後，我回到了中國北京，在GE，富士康，聯想和HP As項目的500強財富公司中工作了超過十年。經理，我在惠普的最後一個項目是「天使之眼」，這是第一款針對視力障礙者的惠普筆記本電腦特殊設計，具有147個按鍵組合手勢和34個易於學習的課程，可以幫助有視力障礙的人們通過「聆聽」而不是「看」，因為創始人CEO以我的名字授予了這個項目。之後，我在北京建立了自己的社會企業組織，繼續進行名為「家庭生活」的項目，這是一個由34位有聽力障礙的人經營的社區餐廳，2015年獲得英國文化委員會頒發的岳悅獎。然後，我回到了家鄉在500個村莊中進行的實地研究表明，我確實相信每個少數民族都有自己的屬靈之地，可以讓村民與祖先保持親密關係，並在他們的保護下和平生活，他們的民族手工藝品在材料製作，圖案和宗教表達等方面都令人讚嘆。文化是我們地球村多樣性文化的一部分，它們在許多方面有趣且重要。因此，我們在這裡探索代碼。我將向您展示兩個來自苗族和(亻革)少數民族的案例研究，他們兩個都沒有書面語言，製作傳統服裝是他們「無言以對布的故事」的方式。
