The day has finally come for our group altares to be on display for everyone to see! Looking at Group 2's altar (Daniela Altamirano Crosby, Vilma Odette Alvarado Garcia and Carla Annet Avila) I love the arch they created with the marigolds. I appreciate the highlight of how COVID-19 is impacting those in prison, ICE detention centers, and essential works with the article headlines on the third level of the altar.
Francisca Garcia held the workshop that we had attended a while ago when this project was assigned. I love that she is a part of the event the same way at the workshop: explain what an ofrenda is and how to build one. My favorite aspect of her altar is the remembrance chair that she has next to it for her ancestor Roberto for whenever he wants to come and sit. The chair is for him to feel welcome. I hadn't seen that before and thought it was a very touching aspect to her altar.
