Las Artivistas de CCATE, in collaboration with the Aztec Dance Group Kalpulli Tlalhuitzilli (Earth’s Hummingbirds), invites the all ages to witness a sample of pre-Hispanic culture and honor, celebrate and defend indigenous peoples with a traditional Día de los Muertos Ofrenda (Day of the Dead collective offering) celebrating ahead of Indigenous People’s Day (10/15). The event is free to the public and will be bilingual in Spanish and English.

Las Artivistas is a growing art collective that creates a space for women to express their creativity, reflect on their identities, and creative pacifist revolution through art and activism, intuition and love, and solidarity, equity and justice. Their event will activate Liquid Landscape, the braided meadows installation created by Sarah Kavage and assistants (part of the Water Spirit sculpture series throughout the AWE network). 

Fun fact: Día de los Muertos is considered an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity'' by UNESCO! 

All programs will follow COVID-19 preventive protocols and measures.

Location & Accessibility: The John James Audubon Center just north of Valley Forge National Historical Park. It is ADA accessible and has plenty of parking for guests. It is also a 20-minute walk from the Egypt Road stop of the #99 SEPTA bus that runs from King of Prussia Mall.
