7th Annual Day of the Dead Exhibition. The “Days of the Dead” celebration is a happy and educational experience for adults as well as for children in México and in the United States. Within the present, concerns for cultural understanding in the United States, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum annually organizes “Days of the Dead” exhibitions, contributing to the conscious and active process of redeeming and reclaiming our past in ways that transform present reality. Here our celebrations may be different in form to those in México, but the spirit of the tradition lives on. Participation in these re-contextualized rituals enables us to recognize that the cycle of life and death is at the core of human experience, binding all people together.
