Celebrate the day of the dead at El Museo del Barrio from 12pm - 5pm.
Here is a listing of events taking place @ El Museo del Barrio:
12:00 - 3:00 pm Paper Monarch Butterflies
Every autumn, monarch butterflies fly from the north back to Michoacán, Mexico, just in time for el Día de los Muertos. Join visual artist Blanka Amezkua to discover how butterflies born in Canada and the United States find their way back to their ancestral homeland, a journey even scientists don’t fully understand. Then, learn how to make colorful monarch butterfly offerings to honor your loved ones.
12:00 - 3:00 pm, Communal Altars
Bring your ofrendas and collaborate with artist Paulina Perera-Riveroll to create communal altars and enjoy talks by El Museo’s artist educators.
3:00 – 5:00 pm, To the Sound of Mexico!
Enjoy traditional dance and music by Ballet Folklórico Espíritu de México, followed by “The Smiling Skull,” a theater presentation combining music, dance, and storytelling by folkloric group Mexico Beyond Mariachi.
