People with faces painted to resemble skulls and hair adorned with flowers marched around Pilsen on the night when spirits are believed to visit the living. Photos of deceased loved ones and famous human rights advocates embellished the \u201cofrenda\u201d or altar. Under the rain, children twirled to the beat of drums.<\/p>\n

D\u00eda de los Muertos<\/a>, an annual tradition that dates back thousands of years to the Aztecs and originated in Mexico, brought people together in Pilsen, a predominantly Mexican neighborhood Pilsen for different reasons \u2014 some personal, some political.<\/p>\n

United by the belief that deceased loved ones come back to this world every year from November 1 to 2, many Latin Americans celebrate the Day of the Dead as a deeply personal and festive holiday that is rooted in each person\u2019s family history.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the procession was Sara Castillo, holding a picture frame on which more than 20 of her ancestors were listed. \u201cIn my family I’ve become the unofficial genealogist, so I thought it appropriate to just recognize all the people and the names I found,\u201d said Castillo who is of Mexican descent but was celebrating the holiday for the first time. \u201cI’m here just to honor them.”<\/p>\n

The tradition of D\u00eda de los Muertos is also communal, an opportunity for people to come together. For Isabel Guytan, who moved to Chicago from Mexico, the Day of the Dead was also about finding comfort by being close to her fellow Mexicans. Although her ancestors are buried in Mexico, this was her way of still being in touch with them, said Guytan.<\/p>\n

While D\u00eda de los Muertos is mainly a cultural and personal celebration, many people were also concerned with social justice issues. The event, organized by ElevArte Community Studio<\/a>, an arts organization focused on youth development through art, was centered on unifying black and brown youth.<\/p>\n

“There’s definitely an activist spirit that comes with the event, and of course when we’re talking about death, there’s different ways our community is affected by that,\u201d said Thelma Uranga, communications coordinator of ElevArte Community Studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes they (children) have friends that are gone too soon due to gang violence around the city, so we wanted to create a space for them where they can talk about that, where they can learn to celebrate the people that they love and be resilient,” said Uranga.<\/p>\n

\"Ofrenda\"<\/a>

Members of the community were also able to write on an interactive \u201cofrenda,\u201d which asked the question, \u201cHow can we love and support our youth?\u201d<\/p>\n

“We’re really interested in building bridges among the two communities [black and brown communities] and with the belief that we’ll be stronger together,\u201d said Uranga.<\/p>\n

A different group, carrying pink crosses joined the D\u00eda de los Muertos procession. Fighting against gender-based violence, the words, \u201ccuando dolemos duele una\u201d which means \u201cwhen one hurts, we all hurt,\u201d were written on the crosses they were holding. \u201cWhat we’re doing is taking a stand and we’re protesting today,\u201d said Laura Doligosa, a Filipina dressed as a traditional Mexican \u201cCatrina.\u201d<\/p>\n

“For too long, people have been fighting issues individually one by one in their community, but when people realize that when one act is committed in one community, it’s against everybody everywhere. [When people are] united and committed to working through different issues and solving problems, that’s when you have something like this happen, with the unity of different cultures,\u201d said Doligosa. In the background, another group shouted, \u201cWhat do we want? Justice!\u201d<\/p>\n

The fusion of family histories, cultures and motivations evident in the procession brought renewed life and spirit to the memory of the dead.<\/p>\n
