Now in its 24th year, SOMArts' annual Día de Los Muertos exhibition is one of the most internationally diverse Day of the Dead celebrations in the United States.
Founded by beloved San Francisco artist and curator René Yañez, Día de Los Muertos at SOMArts merges traditional altars with contemporary installations, continuing to be a multigenerational gathering of remembrance while asserting the role of art as a platform for collective action. Continuing the legacy of René Yañez's work, curator Rio Yañez welcomes co-curator Bridgétt Rex to the exhibit.
The title of this year's exhibit, The Hummingbird's Visit, is fluttering in symbolism. Representing a bridge between the living and the dead where we can connect to those we have lost, artists are invited to create contemporary and traditional altar installations that honor, celebrate, and mourn those whose work, vision, and brilliance have helped to shape our lives.
Curated by Rio Yañez and Bridgétt Rex.
