Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is one of the most important annual traditions in México in which families and communities welcome back the souls of their deceased ancestors for a brief renuion to honor them.
In Camino a Mictlán, (Road to Mictlán), artist and curator Daniel Valle invites you to an art installation and ofrenda open to the entire community. His work will feature authentic altars as well as large sculptures and masks adorning walls and floorspace. In a separated área of the gallery he will install “El Inframundo,” the underworld in Aztec mytholgy, with sculptures of Pre-hispanic deities.
The Art Installation and Ofrenda will open with a reception on Wednesday, October 4 at 6pm and run through Friday, November 3, 2023. RSVP to join us.
