The celebration originated in Mexico and has transcended other countries in Latin America. “Day of the Dead looks then like a reminder that some day we will all die, but not today. Today we dance, drink, eat and celebrate the time we have left in this world with those we love. It is then that our everyday journey – whatever it is-, takes a new meaning and inspires us to commit ourselves to be better humans, by those who left us a legacy of precious values and traditions, and for the future generations that will remember us exactly the way we have lived.” – Diego M Bucio Register Online Categories: Events Tags: Event Cultural Arts Center 201 East Spring Street New Albany, IN 47150 United States + Google Map (812) 944-7336 Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live Día de los Muertos: A Community Ofrenda Project Opening Reception – Living Impression: Representation and Surface
