Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican cultural tradition representing a time to honor and revere deceased family members and ancestors. Join us in creating a community ofrenda (“offering”) in collaboration with Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders by bringing copies of photographs, notes, and letters to honor your loved ones throughout this celebration. The night will feature a performance by Pasatono Orquesta, an ensemble dedicated to the musical culture of the Mixtec—portraying the old mixed bands with strings, wind instruments and percussion almost extinct today in the Mixteca. Pasatono Orquesta is presented in collaboration with the México Now Festival, New York City’s first and only independent festival spotlighting contemporary Mexican art and culture.
