Día de Los Muertos Collective Exhibit and Altares

Homenaje A las Víctimas de la Violencia Armada
(Homage To The Victims of Gun Violence)

With a tribute to the casualties of gun violence, La Peña celebrates the annual Día de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead with a group exhibition of artwork and Altares.

Austin’s hearts intersect with the hearts of all those who have been victims of America’s gun violence. This homage will address the full impact of gun deaths and injuries in America. We grieve the sacrifice of those who lost their lives, who witnessed a massacre, who know someone who was shot, or who live in fear of what may happen with yet another senseless shooting. We also celebrate the living people’s courage and resilience to confront gun violence, as communities recommit to justice, equity, and democratic values.

Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 26, 2019
from 6-8pm at La Peña Gallery.
Free and Open to the Public
