El Campo Scare

Sacred Site Where Two Worlds Collide Under Stars, Moon,
and Sky Dia de Los Muertos en el campo santo (cemetery) is a
mystical, sacred site. It is the ephemeral space where the
metaphysical and the secular worlds coalesce behind a
smoke screen of copal as the scent of cempasuchitl lays heavy
in the air. Join us as we recreate the illusion of el campo sacre in
our beautiful Galerìa Tonantzin in the Guadalupe School of the
Visual Arts. Experience the wandering musicians courtesy of
Conjunto Taller as they serenade the various decorated tombs.

El Campo Sacre's
Mexican Indigenous origins collide
with the present to create a contemporary experience.
