To celebrate Día d e los Muertos\, the museum will showcase two unique Day of the Dead tradit ions: figural sugar work and papier-mâché arts. The Mondragón family are s killed sugar workers known for their sugar animals and the most popular sy mbol of Día de los Muertos: the sugar skull. They come from the city of To luca\, the heart of sugar-figure making in Mexico\, where they have been m aking hand-decorated sugar skulls for more than 150 years.
\nMiriam Castañeda and Martín Ramírez create compelling cartonería tradicional (papier-mâché) figures called calaveras (laughing s keletons)\, which are famous for humorously depicting everyday activities. Calaveras have become closely associated with Día de los Muertos but\, or iginally\, they were used to adorn religious spaces and to represent vario us historical figures in processions.
\n\n
Federal support for this program is pr ovided by the Latino Initiatives Pool\, administered by the Smithsonian La tino Center.
