Reimagining an Ancient Festival: How Día de Muertos Became an Instrument for Decolonization and Indigenization: An Illustrated Online Lecture with Salvador Olguin

Admission: $8 - Tickets and more info HERE

Lush with color, perfumed with the scent of burning candles, copals, and foods left to honor the dead, Día de Muertos is a feast for the senses. But all this light and merriment oftentimes obscures the fact that the holiday has been a weapon of resistance, appropriated, adapted and reinvented by indigenous peoples, Afro-Mexican communities, mestizos, and other marginalized groups. Join for a special talk tracing the shift from religious festival to reclaimed and reimagined celebration.
