The People’s Theater: Día de Muertas

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.

Día de Muertos is 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, Día de Muertas is our yearly event to honor and celebrate 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.

There will be flowers, music, art making, food and learning about our traditions!

This event is a collaboration with NYIC and DSA Latinos Socialistas. See you there

Inwood Art Works: STUDIO DRUM CIRCLE

Join us for an uplifting, interactive community drum circle celebrating rhythm, culture, and connection! Led by Congolese djembe drummer and educator Mounanou Badila of Diata Diata International Folkloric Theatre, this gathering invites people of all ages and experience levels to come together through traditional African rhythms, music, and shared creativity.

No prior drumming experience is needed—just bring your energy, an open mind, and a willingness to connect. Together, we’ll create a welcoming space that promotes unity, self-expression, stress relief, and a stronger sense of community right here in Inwood!
