Remembrance 2023
Blank White Box
OCTOBER 27 – 29, 2023
The Arroyo Arts Collective presents Remembrance 2023, an exploration into a deepened understanding and meaning of All Saints Day, Dia de los Muertos, Ching Ming, Obon, Samhain, the Mourner’s Kaddish and of all rituals, historically and worldwide, associated with how we grieve, how we continue to love, and how we go on in the face of loss.
We remember loved ones or, more broadly, loved places, times or situations and draw upon the heritage of our distinct cultures, and how those cultures honor our ancestors, and respect the various ethnicities that call Highland Park home.
It is our intent to create a space where those who have gone before us are remembered and revered. The rituals of death are different in each culture, but grief is universal, as is the need for a sense of continuity with our ancestors and history. Thus, as we are different, we are the same.
