Grupo Atl-Tlachinolli‘s name comes from the ancient Mexican language\, Nahuatl. Atl means water and Chinolli means fire. It is the combination of two opposing forces that unite to create harmony.  \nMictlán by Cinthya Briones  \nEl Cafe | Altar | 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM \nMictlán refers to the underworld in Aztec mythology\, one of the four realms where souls would journey after death\, depending on how they passed. This altar highlights the Mesoamerican understanding of life and death as interconnected\, a duality central to pre-Hispanic thought. The altar incorporates iconographic imagery from pre-Hispanic and colonial codices and is adorned with a collection of crocheted cempaxochitl and dandelion flowers\, traditionally used in Day of the Dead altars\, inspired by the floral arrangements created by the artist’s grandmothers.  \nHung from the ceiling are the artist’s versions of papel picado created in fabric and inspired by José Guadalupe Posadas’s images of La Calavera Catrina. \nThe public is invited to leave messages about their loved ones on the altar throughout the day. \nMixtec indigenous interpreter and activist Maria Jose Prudente will talk about the celebration of Day of the Dead in the Mountain of Guerrero\, one of the regions with the highest expulsion of indigenous migrants to New York City. Join Josefina Prudente next to the altar at 1:30 PM\, 2:30 PM\, 3:30 PM and 4:15 PM. \n\nPerformance by MAZarte Dance Company \nCourtyard | Performance | 1:45 PM and 3:15 PM  \nMAZarte Dance Company is an artistic organization that exposes the history and the art of the indigenous artisans of Mexican culture through dance. Join us in the courtyard to see traditional dances from Veracruz including La Bruja\, La Llorona\, and Son Jarocho dances\, as well as other traditional dances from Jalisco.  \n\nPerformance by Mariachi Bohemia\nEl Museo | Performance | 2:30 PM\, 3:00 PM\, 4:00 PM  \nMariachi Bohemia sets the scene with soulful melodies that celebrate the spirit of Mexico. Their music honors tradition\, adding a vibrant\, heartfelt touch to the celebration\, connecting us with the rich heritage and memories of those we cherish on the Day of the Dead.  \n\nCara Calaca Facepainting \n3rd Floor Black Box Theatre | 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM  \nThis is a free and ticketed activity  \nTraditional face painting inspired by vibrant calaveras (skulls) and Catrina designs are available for guests 2-12 years-old.

A loving couple falls victim to treachery and is separated\, seemingly forever. The young woman enters Mictlán–the underworld of Aztec mythology–where the mesmerizing Catrina reigns as queen.  \nFounded in 2003\, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company celebrates and explores Mexican and Mexican American culture via dance including live music. Based in New York City\, Calpulli produces professional performances via its international touring company\, designs arts-in- education programming\, and leads free community outreach activities. \n  \nCo-Sponsors:\nWith support from U.
