Evolution of a Sacred Space: Días de los Muertos 2008
Exhibition Opens
This year's Días de los Muertos exhibition, guest curated by Fernando Hernandez, explores the rituals and elements used to honor the dead. The artworks––created by artists (well-known and emerging), schools, and community groups––honor traditional expressions rooted in Meso-American practices, as well as showcase contemporary interpretations of sacred spaces. A communal sacred space was created by forty-five people from the East Bay Art Collaborative, who each made unique 11 x 17-inch boxes that became niches in a Columbarium constructed in the exhibition by Hernandez. Through December 7, 2008.
