El Panteon de Sacramento: Hope, Resistance y Amor

The Panteón de Sacramento (Sacramento’s Cemetery) is an urban re-creation of Día de los Muertos that takes place in small village cemeteries throughout Mexico.

​Día de los Muertos is a traditional Meso-American holiday dedicated to the ancestors; it honors both death and the cycle of life. In Mexico, neighbors gather in local graveyards to share food, music and fun with their families and extended community, both living and departed.

Latino Center for Art and Culture will create a community altar for the public to place offerings. The public is invited to bring candles, photographs, bread, other foods, flowers, toys and other symbolic offerings for loved ones who have passed away.
