Here is a very small detail of my much larger West, Water ofrenda entitled “Make New All Things,” included in the upcoming 2020 Festival of the Altars. The Marigold Project: project of Intersection for the Arts is marking its 29th year of producing this cultural event. The five altars will be installed at the Mission Cultural Center, artists filmed separately (Covid-19 in mind) on site along with the ceremonies and related performances. The overall program will be available virtually. More info. to come. Mil gracias to all the personnel who make this possible, including our Rosa De Anda. My handmade shoes acknowledge children who have died in the camps. Photo: Lorraine García-Nakata
