Día de Los Muertos is a cherished Mexican tradition, now observed in various Latin American countries, celebrated from October 31st-November 2nd. It is a time to remember and honor those we have lost and inviting their spirits back into our lives and homes through symbolic offerings (ofrendas). This year, the WRC is creating an altar to remember those who have lost their lives to relationship violence.
We invite the UIUC community to share photos and memories of loved ones to include on the altar, submit here: https://forms.office.com/r/LEVNry4QtK.
Help us decorate the altar by attending our *special* Crafternoon where we will be decorating sugar skulls, making papel picado, and cempasúchil flowers! All materials will be provided.
Friday, October 17 3-5PM @ WRC
All are welcome!!
