I will
like to write a bit about Kim Soriano’s post, on her trip to the Dia de los
Muertos at the Self Help Graphics and Arts in East Los Angeles, and her visit
to the Grand Park’s exhibition of the altars for Dia de los Muertos. I did not have
a chance to go see the exhibitions, through her blog I at least accomplished to
read, and see pictures about the events that took place to memorize this world
wide holiday. I also read about her own experiences with her family and how she
remembers those unforgettable moments. Dia de los Muertos has been about blood
family and friends that are considered family, it is also to remember your
ancestors from the past. Kim also went to the exhibition on Grand Park and she
mentions that many of the altars where dedicated to the children that migrated
by themselves from Central America to the U.S. Altares (Altars) have always
represented something that you cherished and wanted to remember in El Dia de
los Muertos. I believe that the children immigrating from faraway lands and
through some of the most dangerous territories definitely needed to be
remembered and cherished for all of their bravery and dedication to come here
to the U.S. in search of a better life. Dia de los Muertos will always continue
to be a holiday for everyone to remember their ancestors internationally and to
cherish those events or memories.
