Free Exhibition

This exhibition of student work is the result of a partnership among the MIA and
Austin High School, Thomas Edison High School, El Colegio Charter School,
and Humboldt Secondary School. Students explore world cultures’ reverence for
ancestors through Mexico’s Day of the Dead traditions. They create personal
ofrendas (shrines) to honor friends, family, or community members who have died.
