Description
¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! Join us in Flat Tuesdays for a crafty celebration of one of Mexico's most colorful & spiritual holidays. Learn more about the holiday and its history, as well as how it's celebrated in other parts of the world, by stopping by our table in Main Street, down the stairs from Flat Tuesdays.
Activities will include craft making (including marigolds, papel picado, and calavera doll making), remembering and welcoming loved ones that have passed, music, food, and more! Create things to add to our community ofrenda, or take them home for your own!
This is day 1 of 2 that we will be celebrating Day of the Dead. Traditionally celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, we will celebrate on the 30th and 31st to better accommodate staff and students that wish to participate. The Gathering Space is also open on Friday (November 1st) to support students who may want a more solemn space to remember.
Sponsored by: Latin American Feminisms Working Groups, Retriever Support Services, Latinx and Hispanic Graduate Student Association, Latinx and Hispanic Faculty Association, The Mosaic, Intercultural Communication M.A. Program, and The Women’s Center.
