Ofrenda

Program Description:

Ofrenda is a collaborative exhibition between Littman and White, the 5 CRCs (MCC, PIAAA, MENASA, PAC, La Casa Latina), and NASCC. It is an exploration of how different cultures celebrate and honor the ones we love and have passed, especially so ahead of the Dia de Los Muertos Celebrations.  

The show is centered around a communal ofrenda, a public altar that welcomes and honors those who have passed, typically during Dia de los Muertos. Students and passersby are invited to offer objects, photos, or stories about their relationship with death and the way they’ve mourned and/or celebrated it in their life and how their culture influences that. Alongside this, each CRC + NASCC has their own space to curate materials and objects on the walls of the gallery.
