The Museum of the Moving Image invites visitors to celebrate Day of the Dead with a performance by Aztec Mexica dance, poetry, and music from indigenous dance troupe Yayauhki Tezcatlipoka, and a face-painting session inspired by historical characters from Día de Muertos. All ages are welcome to explore the public altar in the museum’s courtyard, followed by a catrina and catrin contest hosted by artist historian Rosa Ruíz and Catrinamía.
