DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Fine Arts Center at Colorado College for a special community gathering for Día de Muertos\, a celebration of life that demonstrates remembrance\, love\, and respect for those who have gone before us.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nDía de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a tradition that dates back around 3\,000 years in Latin America. Pre-Colombian cultures such as the Aztec\, Toltec\, Quechua\, and Mapuche\, held a cyclical view of the universe in which death is an integral part of life. The dead were still members of the community\, kept alive in memory and spirit\, and were welcomed back to Earth during Día de Muertos.\n\nThe revival of the observance of Día de Muertos in the United States is part of the Mexican American reclamation of Indigenous identity that began with the Chicano Movement\, which spanned from the 1940s to the 1970s. This celebration has evolved over time and in different ways in various regions\, illustrating the importance of reclaiming cultural heritage and tradition. Within the United States\, it has evolved as a mix of Latin American Indigenous practices\, Roman Catholic spiritual traditions\, and diasporic Hispano/a\, and Latinx American cultural expression. Like many holidays\, it is celebrated in different ways by individuals\, families\, and communities. Ofrendas (offerings) are made to honor those who have passed and often make creative or socially engaged statements.\n\nReservations are recommended. This event is open to the general public.  https://www.coloradocollege.edu/newsevents/calendar/details.html?EventID=54483&amp\;booking=1SEQUENCE:0\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/6698
