DÍA DE MUERTOS 2024
Día de Muertos returns to the Garden with a stunning community altar, vibrant procession, food, music and more. Starting Nov. 1, a community altar centered on the legend of the Cempasúchil flower (marigold) and the story of Xóchitl and Huitzilin will be on display in Ottosen Gallery.
It is believed, on Día de Muertos, the scent of the Cempasúchil flower guides the souls of the deceased to the offering waiting for them in the world of the living.
The romantic tale of Xóchitl and Huitzilin unfolds in this ofrenda exhibit through dramatic visuals including monumental flower sculptures and handcrafted silver hummingbirds made by artisans from Taxco de Alarcón.
The deconstructed altar design will also feature the ceramic artwork of Oaxacan artist Rufina Ruiz Lopez. Visitors are invited to place memories and wishes for loved ones on the ofrenda.
