Description: On November 2nd, CCA celebrates the Day of the Dead. A tradition originally practiced in Mexico, Day of the Dead is now recognized widely as an important holiday in the U.S. as well. In California especially, this ritual has become a bridge that brings together members of diverse communities in order to remember and honor our loved ones who have passed away. This exhibition is hosted by Professor Melinda De Jesús in collaboration with the CCA Libraries’ Exhibition Program and facilitated by Laila Espinoza (Community Arts). The community altar on view is by the Monster Culture Class students.
