Pam Bacich, Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos 
Sat., Oct. 11, 3-5 PM (during the reception)

 
In 2002, photographer Pam Bacich began traveling to central Mexico to photograph the Day of the Dead festivities in small communities and graveyards. While traditions vary from village to village, the celebration is centered on the belief that the spirits of the dead will come back each year and visit their loved ones.  Graveyard celebrations and quiet moments of reflection are captured in 132 color photographs.
