Mexic-Arte Museum Path to the Altar: Community Ofrendas
2024-09-27 - 2025-01-05
For this annual Día de los Muertos exhibition, Mexic-Arte has invited three Austin-based organizations, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, La Peña, and MAS Cultura, to create altares inspired by artworks from the Museum’s permanent collection. Two community-based altares are also on display, with The Arriaga-Gonzales family presenting an altar as a tribute to their ancestors, while artist Emmily Arenas designed the other altar, drawing influence from the Mesoamerican deity Quetzalcóatl and Mexic-Arte’s 2024 Viva la Vida Fest. In addition, the Museum has commissioned three artists to conceive original artworks that offer a unique vision of this holiday. Inside the Museum’s space, one can observe Micayla Garza’s mural as well as Michael Menchaca’s video installation, while outside on the Mero Muro wall, you will find a mural created by Alán Serna.
