WorkshopsDay of the Dead

In Mexico, there is the belief that on the Day of the Dead, November 1 and 2, loved ones who are no longer in earthly life come these days to "visit", eat and, drink what they enjoyed in life.

This is a tradition from pre-Hispanic times where death is worshiped, it does not represent an absence but a living presence, and it is with the altars (shrine) that the symbol of life materializes.

We will open the doors of the treasured memories of our loved ones from a loving and respectful place through art therapy.

Goal

Honor and celebrate the memory of their "deceased," creating a shrine/offering decorated with elements that represent them—privilege memory over oblivion.
