In honor of the Earth Story Ancestors Exhibit landing on the weekend of Dia de Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is a time to honor those who have come before us. So in the spirit of remembrance, artists are collaborating to create an interactive exhibit and encourage your participation.

An altar will be set up in the space and paper notes will be provided for writing a short message and hanging it on the display.

We invite you to bring a photocopy (not originals) of your loved ones or those you’d like to honor for the interactive altar. At the end of the exhibit, we will return your notes back to the earth and ask you to retrieve your photos.
