RECUERDO
Day of the Dead
n Mexico, we remember those
who have passed away. When a
person dies, we begin a series of
rituals that are repeated annually
on November 1 & 2. Among the
installations, folk art, and works
by more than 60 artists from both
sides of the border, this year’s
exhibition features an Otomí altar,
an Ofrenda-Túmulo, and a Hanal
