Life is a Dream: A Day of the Dead Ofrenda

Life is a Dream is an art installation inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition.Life is a Dream combines traditional and modern elements and invites the community to participate in creating a meaningful shared experience. Attendees are encouraged to bring small photographs (copies, not originals) and cards to place on the altar to remember their loved ones (no food or candles, please). We will provide paper and markers so attendees can write short messages to loved ones and ancestors. Day of the Dead is a revered celebration unrelated to Halloween that does not include morbid, scary, or performative elements.
