Día de Muertos: A Celebration of Life
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Día de Muertos: A Celebration of Life is a compilation of artistic installations and art exhibits across the State of Oregon, based on the community tradition of Day of the Dead.
Day of the Dead has grown in popularity worldwide. In the United States, it is known as an entertaining Mexican party. While it is related to Halloween, at least in terms of timing and the symbol of the skeleton, it is much more than just costumes and candy.
The project is an exploration of the origins and evolution of the traditional Mexican celebration Day of the Dead. We are made of memories and stories inherited from past generations, and now is the time to honor them. The essence of respect, love, unity and humor infused in this celebration embraces any person, connecting us with the varied forms of love that answer the question of what it means to be human.
