Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an integral part of
the cultural and artistic landscape of U.S. Latinos. Today’s interpretation of
the sacred indigenous tradition has been remixed and recycled into a commercial
holiday blending Mexican, Latino, and American pop culture iconography with the
spiritual aesthetics of the event’s indigenous and Catholic influences. This
collection traces the evolution of Día de los Muertos that emerged from Self
Help Graphics, a community-based workshop in Los Angeles and beyond through an
exhibition and publication documenting its four-decade history of art, ritual,
and celebration.
