Join the campus community in celebrating Día de los Muertos by participating in an ofrenda workshop at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, in the School of Law Atrium. Sponsored by the Art Education Program, the Mexican American Student Association and the Multicultural Center, the workshop will offer participants the opportunity to make a personal ofrenda, or altar, honoring a loved one who has passed away.

Register for the workshop on Hogsync.

This evening of reflection will feature a prayer and special remarks from María Cristina Moroles, the director of the Arco Iris Earth Care Project, an Indigenous-led conservation organization dedicated to conserving Ozark wilderness land, teaching environmental education, preserving Indigenous and Ozark cultures and providing a sanctuary that empowers women and children of color, displaced indigenous peoples and the community with natural and healthy skills for sustainable living and self-sufficiency. To learn more about the Arco Iris Earth Care Project, visit their website.

Participants are welcomed to submit photos of the loved ones they would like to honor with an ofrenda. Photos submitted by Oct. 27 will be printed and available at the workshop. To submit a photo, fill out this Google Form.
