The Day of the Dead, or “Dia De Los Muertos” is typically celebrated on Nov. 1st (All Saints Day), and Nov 2nd. In Mexico where the Day of the Dead originated, the celebration has ancient Aztec roots, and is a national holiday. The belief is not that death is the end, but rather the beginning of a new stage in life. Is a time for remembering and celebrating the dead, ancestors and the continuity of life. Everyone is encouraged to bring offerings for the the altar opening night or during the gallery hours on Saturday and Sunday. Traditional offerings include flowers, food, and photographs of those passed. The altar is a interactive installation and is there for everyone!
