Día de Muertos Communal Altar By Marco Saavedra

Saturday, Nov. 1, 1-3 p.m.

The Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse

Free

The Bronx Museum invited artist Marco Saavedra to create an altar for their Dia de Muertos celebration on Saturday, Nov. 1. The purpose of this altar is to collectively imagine a new world that is based on compassion for others and connection to nature and ancestry. The altar, along with its surrounding programming, invites the community to paint flowers, leave votive images and break bread. Through these shared acts, attendees exercise our freedom to choose the “miracle of love” over the “death of the heart.”
