Day of the Dead remembers immigrants – Exhibit in Chicago, Illinois
Tagged: Day of the Dead, Mexico“In an exhibit opening Friday evening, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum is using the popular folk holiday to honor the hundreds who die crossing into the United States from Mexico each year.
Day of the Dead shrines can range from sad to spooky to funny, often mixing current events with the age-old themes of death, the afterlife and remembrance. But this is the first time in 20 years the museum will devote an entire wing to political works, reflecting a year in which illegal immigration has become a national flashpoint.”
