SUMMARY:Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:
 This year's exhibit theme: Latinas in Cinema\n
  \n
 For generations the Day of the Dead/El día 
 de los Muertos has been a unique and sacred 
 festivity for people of Mexican descent on both 
 sides of the U.S.-Mexican border. El día de 
 los Muertos, an ancient Mexican celebration 
 in which families reconnect with departed ancestors, 
 provides a special opportunity to remember 
 and celebrate the life and legacy of those 
 who have moved ahead into the sacred lands 
 of Mictlan. The realm of the "fleshless" or 
 the dead (Mictlán in Nahuatl, Xibalbá in Maya), 
 according to Ancient Mexican traditions, 
 is conceived to be in a fluid relationship with 
 the world of the "flesh" or the living. "The 
 fleshless ones" are considered to be a living 
 presence in this world while the "living 
 ones" contemplate death as the natural progression 
 of life and renewal. \n
  \n
 MSU History 
 Professor Juan Javier Pescador has created a 
 Day of the Dead ofrenda installation at the MSU 
 Museum for a number of years. His IAH 203 
 Latin America and the World class studies Day 
 of the Dead and the museum exhibit helps share 
 the special program with a broad audience.\n
