Día de
Muertos Altar 2026

The 2026 Day of the Dead altar at the Instituto Cultural Mexicano is open to the public. Artist Martirene Alcántara was commissioned to create the ofrenda. It is dedicated to Mexican artists, among them an architect, two painters, two composers (one also a musician), a woman poet and a ceramicist. The display includes calaveritas literarias, poems that address death coming to seek the person. A public call for photographs of deceased loved ones closed before the altar was built.
