Día de los Muertos: Senderos’ Centeotl Danza y Baile Performance
Thursday, October 29, 2020 (todo el dia)
Join a re-imagined Día de los Muertos celebration with month-long opportunities to come together and remember those we have lost. Check out the full list of happenings here on our blog.
This year, in collaboration with our core partners and teachers of Senderos, the MAH will continue to hold a gathering space for all to share their stories, celebrate community, and mourn – safely. We're bringing the many offerings of our annual festival online and outdoors.
On November 5th, enjoy a rerecorded virtual performance by Centeotl Danza y Baile filmed at Evergreen Cemetery. Learn about the dance and its significance in an interview with Maestras Jenny Robles, Magdalena Vega, and Chanel Robles.
