What is the Virtual Altar Project?
The Virtual Altar project is designed to help us build bridges between the individual and the community, life, death, sorrow, and celebration. This participatory draws on the thoughtful process of creating a public altar of remembrance of people who have passed. The project is inspired by the altar-making traditions in Mexico for Day of the Dead.
How do I make my altar?
You can make an altar in whatever way feels most meaningful to you. It can be done as an individual or as a group. You can draw from a specific tradition or create something completely expressive. You can make or arrange objects or pictures, paint, glue, write letters or poems, build, draw, etc. You can work 2 or 3 dimensionally.
