Día de los Muertos: Covid Memorial

Día de los Muertos: Covid Memorial

228.00 lives lost.
Not just a number.
Not forgotten.


The Bronx Documentary Center has partnered with nonprofit organizations Naming the Lost, Mazarte Dance Company, and Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders to celebrate the lives of those who lost their lives due to Covid-19. We decided to take advantage of the Day of the Dead festival that is celebrated from October 28 to November 2 to honor with dignity the memory of those community members that we have lost during the pandemic. The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico and in many parts of Latin America and according to legend, our loved ones visit us during those days.

There will be a box on the door of our 614 Courtlandt Ave gallery to pick up and to drop off the page (s). Please email  info@bronxdoc.org  with a photo / name / age / and date the person passed away to add to the BDC's slide show. We will project the names on the BDC gallery window at 614 Courtlandt Ave, Bronx.
