Day of the Dead / El Dia De Los Muertos in Second Life and in Lesley’s Atrium at University Hall!

Virtual Celebration in Second Life

A Day of the Dead collaboration between Lesley University and the Smithsonian Latino Museum

Help create an altar by bringing pictures of your dead loved ones, ancestors, or someone no longer with us who was inspirational in your life. Add your ofrendas (offerings): sweet breads, marigolds, candied sugar skulls, papel picado (folded and cut tissue paper). Leave a note, poem, drawing, song...anything to celebrate and honor the dead.

WHEN: Monday, November 2 from 12pm - 4pm

WHERE: University Hall, 2nd Floor Atrium

WHAT: Live Video Projection of the festivities in 2nd Life

(Mexican Buffet at the Porter Cafe, Third Floor, University Hall)
