Dia de Los Muertos Luminary Showcase

Despite the cold weather the youth, their parents, and neighbors gathered to share the artistic creations the young artists have been working on throughout the fall.

The days are getting shorter (and more damp) and that is part of why we value our annual mid-fall gathering as one of the last opportunities to connect before wintering as a community.

Traditionally Inside Southwest Detroit has focused on the last week of October and first week of November as an opportune time to uplift the values of local wisdom, inter-generational connections, and mentoring as we learn about the traditions and culture our communities celebrate together.

This year we celebrated on Dia de Los Muertos with a showcase of art from Porch on TAP residency with Mark Tucker with student-made luminaries, snacks, and some music. The time together warms our hearts as we get ready to slow down, spend more time indoors, and prepare ourselves and community for the Spring ahead of us.
