Hola and welcome.

días_de_los_Muertos/2009 (:-X

Celebrate the dead’s journey back to the world of the living. Conceived as a digital altar, días_de_los_Muertos/2009 (:-X encourages participants to commemorate aspects of an honored one's life and take ownership of the dead’s journey as their own.

This project launched to celebrate Dias de los Muertos 2009. It is also intended to be an ongoing online resource and forum for communities participating in the tradition world-wide. Over time, the Oakland Museum of California will use the video, images, and conversations from this website to enhance our annual Days of the Dead exhibition and community celebration.
