Honor an ancestor or revered member of the community by building them a Dia de los Muertos Nicho (diorama)! Edgar-Arturo Camacho-Gonzalez of El Comalito Collective will lead this step-by-step process, which includes cutting out a pre-provided template, gluing, and painting or coloring. Be sure to prepare a printed digital image, or image cut from a magazine, of the individual you are honoring!
Once you register, you will receive a reminder, materials list, stencils and templates to be used during the workshop.

El Comalito Collective is an art gallery and community space that showcases underrepresented artists through a variety of media that spark consciousness. Our mission is to create networks that build support and foster opportunities for marginalized voices through works that explore the intersections of (but not limited to) race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, and gender, through a decolonial lens. This is a space for and by community. El Comalito Collective promises to deliver programming for the community which will include workshops, the showcasing of artwork, and proposals made by the community.
