Day of the Dead Shrine Exhibit 2013
I know that we're near holidays to post about Day of the Dead but been busy lately.
Outside work and around the city there were decorations and shrines for the Day of the Dead.
Some Catrinas at the Mall:
This one with a Frida Kahlo vibe
This resembles a crooner/movie star, María Victoria.
And these were the Shrines installed at work:
[Skulls, skulls everywhere]
Welfare Secretary installed this one:
A close up of the food display:
PR Department:
(Hint: they're wearing our traditional costume)
Prehispanic style Shrine:
This one features skulled Papantla Flyers, a ritual dance form northern Veracruz.
Close up of the flyers, really cute. XD
Up close, they're made of Polystyrene, so they're quite light.
This one has a colorful arch and a Catrina with Jarocha dress as well.
I suspect the assignment at schools were using skulls.
This one features lots of fruit.
This one was really interesting: the skull dolls were over carts/something mobile, so they danced all around! :D
Of course, jarocho music.
And this was the one at the Den.
As curious data, we usually clash Halloween Tradition/day of the Dead, but seems that the Board of Educations instructed for Kindergarten to dress up their kids as skeletons (no pumpkins, vampires, etc). I met at the street a girl with Cinderella dress but with skull make up. XD;; Victor-kun dressed his kid in jailstripe uniform but he has a skull make up and a skull rib t-shirt. Sorry, can't repost his pic without permission but he looked really cute!
