Pelham Art Center’s Folk Arts Series presents the annual celebration of Mexican Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos). Come join in this festive Mexican tradition in which passed loved ones are remembered with joy and celebration. Renowned artist Zafiro Romero-Acevedo returns to the Pelham Art Center to share the history of one of Mexico’s richest traditions.

Telpochcalli, the Traditional Mexican Performance Arts & Theater, is composed of Mexican dancers, ages 4 -14.  These young performers will charm the audience with the traditional Day of the Dead dances from Mexico; “La Morena” from the state of Veracruz, and “China Poblana” from the State of Puebla.

The performance will be followed by an art- making workshop where we will be creating a traditional miniature alter from tissue paper and colorful clay for your loved ones. Feel free to bring a picture of your beloved family
