Duke Arts is hosting a Dia de Muertos Ofrenda, a Day of the Dead altar piece, at Duke Chapel, 401 Chapel Hill Drive, Durham, North Carolina.
Seven artists from the Inter-Latin American Artist Collective (ILAAC) created oversized calaveras, colorfully painted skulls traditionally used to decorate ofrendas, and adorned the ofrenda with traditional elements. Visitors will find bright yellow and gold marigolds made of tissue paper to guide spirits to the ofrenda, papel picado (perforated paper) that symbolizes the union between life and death, and more.
Check out Day of the Dead celebrations throughout the Triangle!
It’s free and open to the public from October 10 to November 7, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
