'Dia de los Muertos' Tradition Celebrated at Sheldon
Events at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Sheldon Museum of Art this month will celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a centuries-old spiritual tradition expressing the continuity of life by honoring the dead on their return to Earth for one day each year.
The museum's Great Hall is now elaborately decorated for the art and cultural celebration with papier-mache sculptures, masks and papel picados (punched-paper art) hanging from the windows. Community artists and UNL students in Anne Ruehrmund Barton's Art in the Community class worked with young students from throughout the community to create these art installations. An ofrenda (altar) was constructed for visitors to honor their loved ones. The small sculptures and masks used in the decorations will be available for purchase through a silent auction Oct. 29 through 7 p.m. Nov. 6. The Dia de los Muertos decor in the Great Hall will be on view through Nov. 15. more...
