Many Nations Longhouse will host MEChA’s Dia De Los Muertos event Friday starting at 5:30 p.m.
The holiday, celebrated in Mexico and Mexican-American communities in the U.S. with variations in other Latin American countries, celebrates and remembers the deceased.
Friday’s event will include a photography exhibit from Tania Frausto, a photographer and architect from Guanajuato, Mexico.
“Her art exhibit will focus on the retention of cultural practices,” student Oscar Guerra said.
La Catrina will perform salsa and meringue music, and Mujeres, an offshoot of MEChA, will read poetry.
Student Stephanie Patricio said the event is a way to keep culture alive while in college.
“I was starting to lose that, or I would have, if it weren’t for MEChA and events like that,” she said.
Tamales and horchata from Plaza Latina will be served.
