SUMMARY:Mictlan
DESCRIPTION:Día de los Muertos OfrendaCinthya Santos-Briones\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree\, Open Daily 10am-5pmHistoric Chapel \n\n\n\nEn Espanol \n\n\n\nDía de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and parts of Latin America that honors the departed through music\, dancing\, gatherings with family and friends\, and ofrendas (offerings made on home altars).  Since 2018\, Green-Wood has commissioned a Brooklyn-based artist to create and install a large-scale community altar in the Cemetery’s Historic Chapel. Visitors are encouraged to pay tribute to lost loved ones by lighting candles\, and by leaving personal offerings\, including flowers\, photographs\, food\, and notes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSantos-Briones’ installation\, Mictlan\, draws inspiration from both ancient and modern conceptions of death in Mexico. The title refers to the underworld of Aztec mythology where souls of the departed spend eternity. The centerpiece of the installation\, the community altar\, is designed as a pyramid\, modeled after the monuments and temples constructed by indigenous populations. This architectural style\, along with other practices and traditions\, was lost in the sixteenth century\, when Europeans colonized the region and forced conversion to Christianity. \n\n\n\nSantos-Briones is a visual artist\, educator\, and cultural organizer with indigenous Nahua roots based in New York. Her photography has been published in The New York Times\, Vogue\, Buzzfeed\, The Intercept\, New Yorker\,  The Nation Magazine\, among others. Mictlan will be her first large scale installation.  To learn more about her work and current projects\, click here.

SUMMARY:Sacred Passage Passport: Rituals From Around The World
DESCRIPTION:With nearly 8 billion people on Earth—that’s 8 billion different perspectives on death\, each influenced by the regional and cultural norms embedded in those individuals’ daily lives.  \n\n\n\nWhat can we learn from these diverse perspectives? How can we broaden our outlook beyond the limitations of American customs?   \n\n\n\nJourney around the globe with us as we explore funerary customs and rituals from 195 countries. Some of these may sound familiar—like casket dancers in Ghana or paid mourners in Italy—but do you know how or why these rituals started? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free. Registration required.  \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this introduction to global perspectives on death\, we’ll touch upon facts from as many countries and cultures as we can in the hope that it sparks your curiosity and opens you to new perspectives on how we care for the dead. \n\n\n\nResearch completed by Sarah Posey and Gabrielle Gatto. \n\n\n\nFree. Registration required. Please consider a $10 donation to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer free and low-cost programs throughout the year. \n\n\n\nBEFORE RESERVING YOUR SPOT\, PLEASE NOTE:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets.

The title refers to the underworld of Aztec mythology where souls of the departed spend eternity. The centerpiece of the installation\, the community altar\, is designed as a pyramid\, modeled after the monuments and temples constructed by indigenous populations. This architectural style\, along with other practices and traditions\, was lost in the sixteenth century\, when Europeans colonized the region and forced conversion to Christianity. \n\n\n\nSantos-Briones is a visual artist\, educator\, and cultural organizer with indigenous Nahua roots based in New York. Her photography has been published in The New York Times\, Vogue\, Buzzfeed\, The Intercept\, New Yorker\,  The Nation Magazine\, among others.

DESCRIPTION:Día de los Muertos OfrendaCinthya Santos-Briones\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree\, Open Daily 10am-5pmHistoric Chapel \n\n\n\nEn Espanol \n\n\n\nDía de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and parts of Latin America that honors the departed through music\, dancing\, gatherings with family and friends\, and ofrendas (offerings made on home altars).  Since 2018\, Green-Wood has commissioned a Brooklyn-based artist to create and install a large-scale community altar in the Cemetery’s Historic Chapel. Visitors are encouraged to pay tribute to lost loved ones by lighting candles\, and by leaving personal offerings\, including flowers\, photographs\, food\, and notes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSantos-Briones’ installation\, Mictlan\, draws inspiration from both ancient and modern conceptions of death in Mexico. The title refers to the underworld of Aztec mythology where souls of the departed spend eternity. The centerpiece of the installation\, the community altar\, is designed as a pyramid\, modeled after the monuments and temples constructed by indigenous populations. This architectural style\, along with other practices and traditions\, was lost in the sixteenth century\, when Europeans colonized the region and forced conversion to Christianity. \n\n\n\nSantos-Briones is a visual artist\, educator\, and cultural organizer with indigenous Nahua roots based in New York. Her photography has been published in The New York Times\, Vogue\, Buzzfeed\, The Intercept\, New Yorker\,  The Nation Magazine\, among others. Mictlan will be her first large scale installation.  To learn more about her work and current projects\, click here.
