For many Angelenos, Day of the Dead is a tradition learned in the United States. As a result, their practice is often imbued with political activism.
Lorena Lopez and Maria Bustamante Morales, 4, look at the Day of the Dead “Altar for Carlos Zaragoza” at Self Help Graphics & Art.
“Our entire life,” she said, “revolves around memory and holding on to the teachings of our ancestors.” For her, using the tradition as a marketing tool is “historical erasure.” This, said Flores-Marcial, “is ultimately what we’re celebrating when we’re honoring our ancestors. We’re saying, ‘This is what we’ve harvested from this knowledge.’ That part, this knowledge that indigenous people have, is totally overlooked when people start appropriating these symbols.”“You can find it in the Andes, too. You can find it in Guatemala. You can find it in so many places in the Americas. It’s not only Mexican,” she said.
