A Space Gallery
401 Richmond Street West, Suite 110  (Richmond & Spadina)

Art exhibit viewing and workshop!

Recently, museums and galleries have shown an interest in the colourful syncretism of the Day of the Dead celebration, focusing on the traditional and folkloric aspects of the ritual. Bringing Down Our Dead departs from that approach, offering a contemporary expression of the ritual, while reflecting the political and social beliefs of our times. The artists’ works -- painting, video, performance, and installation -- pay tribute to the memory of the departed, and they also denounce violence, voice concerns, and record everyday events. The approaches taken by the artists are informed by their individual experiences as well as by the ways in which contemporary issues both reflect and deflect from those experiences.
