MARA LEA BROWN
MCCLA Window Altars
Day of the Dead 2018
Denhi Donis invited me to collaborate with her on the two window altars at MCCLA in San Francisco.
"Families Belong Together" is dedicated to migrant children around the world, including Alan Kurdi and Mariee Juárez.
"Unity Community" is in honor of many San Francisco activists/leaders who have passed away.
We dedicate this altar to:
Alejandro “Alex” Nieto
Alexis Rivera
Alfonso Texidor
Aurora Grajeda
Carlos Gilberto Aceituno
Carlos Gutiérrez
Earl Gilman
Eric Quezada
Francisco Alarcón
Juanita Rieloff
LeRoy King
MamaCoAtl Chantiko
Michael Roman
Quique Dávila
René Yáñez
Virginia Ramos “The Tamales Lady”
…and to so many other leaders
in our community
who continue to guide us,
feed our souls
and support us
in our fight
to make this
a more just
and beautiful world.
On November 2, 2018 there were two events in and around MCCLA for Day of the Dead:
-
MCCLA Day of the Dead 2018: Vuelo de los Ancestros
-
SF Día de los Muertos Procession and Festival of Altars 2018
