Día de los Muertos: Mourning and Remembering through Ecological Change will explore cross-cultural grief in the context of environmental and species loss. Join us on November 1 from 11am-1pm at the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden (707 Tiverton Drive) for ofrendas, art, and talks on topics such as deforestation, extinction, and environmental colonialism and imperialism. We’ll have snacks and drinks including champurrado and a variety of pan dulces. Come early for a guided Garden tour at 10am (provided by the Botanical Garden).

This event is free and open to the public; it is hosted by the Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies (LENS), Environmental Humanities Reading Group (EHRG), and Radical Imagination Coalition (RIC), and is co-sponsored by the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden and Center for Developing Leadership in Science (CDLS).
