As the world watches and responds to the genocide of the Palestinian people, this year’s exhibition theme reflects on the impact of this ongoing trauma on personal, national, and international levels. Participating artists center creation as resistance by mounting traditional and contemporary altar installations that honor, celebrate, and mourn those who have perished in Palestine.
In alignment with the tradition of Día de Los Muertos, the exhibition also showcases personal altars dedicated to loved ones who have passed.
This evening features curatorial remarks, Día de Los Muertos inspired artist market, and more.
