Daily News | Neighborhood Dispatch: Day of the Dead, Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival and more
October is finally over. Day of the Dead, upcoming elections, Thanksgiving and, beyond that, the start of holiday season, mark the start of the year-end frenzy. Rather than give in to that future stress, I’m focusing on the intersection of art, culture, and history to learn from different communities in the city. Over at the Bok, a community altar for the Day of the Dead reminds us not to take living for granted, while a local film festival spotlights tomorrow’s talent.
The Day of the Dead is a tradition commemorated by many cultures to remember the lives of those who are no longer with us. This Día de los Muertos, Artist Reyna Guzmán Casarez will be creating a traditional altar outside Bok Bar. In Mexican culture, this multilevel platform represents the stages of a soul’s journey between earth and the afterlife.
Folks are invited to honor the memory of their loved ones, no matter the cultural or ethnic background. You can bring flowers, photos, or anything that reminds you of a relative that has passed away and add it to the altar., Guzmán Casarez will be talking about the meaning behind it on Nov.1, between 5-7 p.m.
