Día de Muertos Virtual Celebration at the Eiteljorg Museum

While nothing can replace the experience of watching colorful twirling folklórico dancers, taking selfies with immaculately dressed and made-up Catrinas and Catrins, and indulging in a loaf of pan de muerto, this year’s completely virtual Día de Muertos Celebration will offer exciting new opportunities – all from the comfort of your own sofa. Highlights include an artist talk by Carlos Barberena of the Instituto Grafico de Chicago, performances by Mexican singer Roselián, Mexican American musicians A Flor de Piel , a special performance by the Latino Arts Strings Program directed by Dinorah Marquez ; a conversation with Mexican visual artist and activist Mustang Jane; and more. This year’s celebration will span nearly a week, concluding on Monday, Nov. 2, the traditional culmination of the Día de Muertos holiday.
