This year’s altar\, created by Raul Ayala\, pays homage to the traditions of the Ecuadorian Andes\, where November 2nd is celebrated as Día de los Difuntos (Day of the Deceased or All Soul’s Day).  \n\n\n\nKaranakuy is a Kichwa word that embodies the concept of giving as an act of reciprocity. The altar weaves together elements that invite visitors to engage through their senses\, utilizing plants\, fruits\, and culinary traditions from the Andes. Traditions associated with Día de los Difuntos includes two distinctive culinary items: guaguas de pan\, sweet bread figures shaped and decorated like babies\, and colada morada (or its fermented version\, yana api)\, a thick beverage that is made with fruit and spices and used in rituals and celebrations tied to the agricultural calendar. \n\n\n\nInspired by guaguas de pan\, visitors are encouraged to craft their own offerings for the altar by shaping fondant into doll-like figures or objects commemorating their departed loved ones. They may also leave personal items\, such as mementos\, photos\, or flowers\, upon the altar. The large urn at the center of the Chapel will be filled with yana api as an offering to those who have passed. \n\n\n\nRaul Ayala is a visual artist and educator focused on mural production\, drawing\, and public art. His work attempts to question normative historical parameters and coloniality through a juxtaposition of a broad spectrum of primary sources\, usually aiming for a collaborative and co-creative process. He was the recipient of the 2014 New York Foundation of the Arts’ Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program Award\, the 2015 Create Change Commissions Artist Award of The Laundromat Project\, and the 2016 Rauschenberg Artist as Activist Residency\, among others.

This year’s altar\, created by Raul Ayala\, pays homage to the traditions of the Ecuadorian Andes\, where November 2nd is celebrated as Día de los Difuntos (Day of the Deceased or All Soul’s Day).  \n\n\n\nKaranakuy is a Kichwa word that embodies the concept of giving as an act of reciprocity. The altar weaves together elements that invite visitors to engage through their senses\, utilizing plants\, fruits\, and culinary traditions from the Andes. Traditions associated with Día de los Difuntos includes two distinctive culinary items: guaguas de pan\, sweet bread figures shaped and decorated like babies\, and colada morada (or its fermented version\, yana api)\, a thick beverage that is made with fruit and spices and used in rituals and celebrations tied to the agricultural calendar. \n\n\n\nInspired by guaguas de pan\, visitors are encouraged to craft their own offerings for the altar by shaping fondant into doll-like figures or objects commemorating their departed loved ones. They may also leave personal items\, such as mementos\, photos\, or flowers\, upon the altar. The large urn at the center of the Chapel will be filled with yana api as an offering to those who have passed. \n\n\n\nRaul Ayala is a visual artist and educator focused on mural production\, drawing\, and public art. His work attempts to question normative historical parameters and coloniality through a juxtaposition of a broad spectrum of primary sources\, usually aiming for a collaborative and co-creative process. He was the recipient of the 2014 New York Foundation of the Arts’ Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program Award\, the 2015 Create Change Commissions Artist Award of The Laundromat Project\, and the 2016 Rauschenberg Artist as Activist Residency\, among others. Ayala currently teaches drawing and painting at Rutgers University. \n\n\n\nEN ESPAÑOLKARANAKUYDÍA DE LOS DIFUNTOS OFRENDARaul Ayala\n\n\n\n28 de octubre – 17 de noviembre\, 2024Gratis\, abierto todos los días\, 10am-5pmCapilla Histórica \n\n\n\nEl Día de los Muertos es una festividad que se celebra en México y en algunas partes de América Latina que honra a los difuntos a través de la música\, el baile\, reuniones con familiares y amigos y ofrendas. Desde 2018\, Green-Wood ha encargado a diferentes artistas la creación de un altar comunitario a gran escala en la Capilla Histórica del cementerio en honor a la festividad cada año. El altar de este año\, creado por Raúl Ayala\, rinde homenaje a las tradiciones de los Andes ecuatorianos donde se celebra el 2 de noviembre como el Día de los Difuntos. \n\n\n\nKaranakuy es una palabra Kichwa que encarna el concepto de dar como acto de reciprocidad. El altar entrelaza elementos que invitan a los visitantes a participar a través de sus sentidos\, utilizando plantas\, frutas y tradiciones culinarias de los Andes. Las tradiciones asociadas con el Día de los Difuntos incluyen dos elementos culinarios distintivos: guaguas de pan\, figuras de pan dulce con forma y decoración de bebés\, y colada morada (o su versión fermentada\, yana api)\, una bebida espesa hecha con frutas y especias y que se utiliza en rituales y celebraciones vinculadas al calendario agrícola. \n\n\n\nSe anima a los visitantes a elaborar sus propias ofrendas para el altar utilizando fondant en forma de muñecos inspirados por las guaguas de pan. También pueden dejar artículos personales\, como recuerdos y fotografías\, en honor a sus seres queridos fallecidos. \n\n\n\nRaúl Ayala es un artista visual y educador enfocado en la producción de murales\, el dibujo y el arte público. Su trabajo intenta cuestionar los parámetros históricos normativos y la colonialidad a través de una yuxtaposición de un amplio espectro de fuentes primarias\, generalmente apuntando a un proceso colaborativo y co-creativo. Ayala recibió el Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program Award del New York Foundation of the Arts en 2014\, el Create Change Commissions Artist Award del Laundromat Project en 2015 y el Rauschenberg Artist as Activist Residency en 2016\, entre otros. Ayala actualmente enseña dibujo y pintura en Rutgers University. \n\n\n\nCREDITS\n\n\n\nArtist: Raul AyalaCurator: Harry WeilWool Harness: Rosa Maria Ashqui Assistants: Angel Garcia and Rodolfo VelazquezVase Fabricators: Powerhouse ArtsMetal Octahedron: Rowan ReneeRhyton: Antonio Gaybor TobarProduction Manager: Tiva BaloiActivation on November 1st: Atik and Nina PawayFabrication:  Henryk Kopec\, Pelegrin Rosario Millet\, and William (JR) Rivera URL:https://www.green-wood.com/event/karanakuy/2024-11-17/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.green-wood.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Karanakuy-website.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241117T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241117T143000 DTSTAMP:20260403T170427 CREATED:20240801T043126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T174731Z UID:10036213-1731848400-1731853800@www.green-wood.com SUMMARY:Green-Wood’s Greatest Hits DESCRIPTION:Special Seasonal Discount!
