Journey through love, life and death, this virtual presentation explores the Mexican cultural tradition of honoring deceased loved ones each year on November 1 and 2. This exhibit features original works by Mexican photographers Guillermo Reza Díaz, Pedro Berruecos Vila and Maricela Figueroa Zamilpa captured in the states of Puebla, Morelos, Guerrero and Oaxaca.

One of the most refined samples of living miscegenation and syncretism in Mexico, the Day of the Dead, today a member of the UNESCO Intangible Heritage list, goes through an important moment of expression: defending itself against globalization and foreign influences, or succumbing to them. Our indigenous communities keep tradition alive in its purest and most authentic forms, away from figures such as monsters, ghosts.

Death, understood as transcendence and happiness, rather than as mourning and darkness; the possibility of summoning, meeting, meeting and sharing with loved ones, both those present and "those who got ahead of us" and, above all, of involving others.
