• The People’s Theater: Día de Muertas

    The People's Theatre 419 West 206th Street, NEW YORK, NY, United States

    For the seventh year in a row, Undocumented Women’s Fund invites you to our Día de Muertas, a feminist and immigrant justice take on Día de Muertos, a traditional holiday that warmly welcomes back the souls of departed loved ones. Families illuminate cemeteries and build colorful ofrendas laden with bright cempasúchil marigolds, candlelight, favorite dishes, and sugar skulls. Rather than a time of mourning, it is a spirited celebration of remembrance, affirming that love and memory endure beyond death. Hence, our event honorsand celebrates the lives of women, children, and gender-expansive people we have lost at the hands of a murderous immigration system, whether on their journey north, in detention, or after deportation.
