Shrine Exhibit, Day of the Dead 2012
Got a few pics of the shrines installed at work and a few pic from today at the cementery.
[LOTS of pictures here]
The Academy of Indigenous Languages installed a prehispanic shrine.
Detail of the ground design
Outside the PR office they installed a shrine with Catrín & Catrina.
Bad pic. didn't got any close up, later when I went around, they retired the maché dolls. DD:
There was a Catrina dresses as jarocha next to this one.
A communications school dedicated theirs to media creators:
I don't have pics of the Den's shrine, because I haven't been there the whole week. XD;;
So I put an emergency one with handmade flowers (didn't have chance to go buy some) and I realized I don't have enough religious images. Also, this one is without portraits, because I don't have individual pics of my family members. XD;;
(excuse the cables)
I have a pic (bad light) from home, but this one has booze and lots of portaits. xD;;
Today I went to the cementery before work. LOTS. of people. I had to get off the cab and walk a block because the traffic was insane. XD;; (This area looks lonely because it's one of the extremes of the cementery. I have to cross it to get to Tohui's and my Grandma's place. xD;;)
There are lots of musicians, people who practivcally have a picnic over there, or just they spend time decorating the tombs. there was even a guys selling candy floss!
And then I found the Bear Family, so we put flowers together for Tohui (and his grandparents).
Papa Bear brought the garland, and possibly my cousin Rena put the windmill and the I<3U sign with flowers.
I knew Mama Bear would bring many flowers, that's why I only brought a small ribbon cross. You cna barely see it at the right. XD;;
They also sell many kinds of flower wreaths, some with religious images, some others with wax flowers.
There were lots of people, that's why I couldn't take many pics. XD;;
Then I rushed to go to my grandparent's tomb.
And then I rant to work.
Last year's post here.
