Upcoming Lunch & Learn Event:
Lunch and Learn: The Four Elements and Their Roles in Day of the Dead
In 2008, the Day of the Dead tradition was inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. As this beloved tradition continues to grow in popularity, it is important to understand the layers of meaning and traditions that colonization and time have contributed to how we understand the tradition. Our ancestors' relationship with nature was much more direct and their relationship with Earth, Wind, Water and Fire did not end at death. Latino Arts invites you to a discussion where we explore the four elements and their representation within the tradition of Ofrendas.
