Fiesta de Día de Muertos
Inspired by Diego Rivera’s monumental mural Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central (Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda Central), Death – in the guise of an elegant lady (La Catrina) – strolls through the Humboldt Forum and encounters characters from all walks of life across Mexican history.
