VIVO: Days of the Dead 2010

Dias de los Muertos

October 6 - December 5, 2010

Curated by Jaime Cortez
OMCA’s annual Dìas de los Muertos Celebration has been one of the Bay Area’s most popular community events for 16 years, drawing thousands of participants annually to mark the traditional Meso-American celebrations and give them a contemporary artistic twist. 

On October 23 from 12 noon to 4:30 pm, the public will celebrate Dias de los Muertos included in regular OMCA admission beginning with a ritual in front of OMCA’s Oak Street Entrance. Following the ceremonia, visitors will enter the Gardens invited by the sounds of music and conversation, the smells of food and burning copal incense. 

Throughout the day there will be food and drinks including the Tamale Girl food booth, demonstrations and sale of arts and crafts at a mercado, music and dance, and countless activities for visitors of all ages, as well as access to the exhibition and galleries.
