Overview
Day of the Dead: Mexico's Celebration of Life is a lush exploration of the vibrant and important traditions of Día de Muertos, Mexico's holiday for celebrating passed loved ones.
Author Luisa Navarro explores all aspects of this important holiday from its origins, history, iconography, and current-day styles of celebration. Along with photographer Christine Chitnis (Patterns of India), Luisa travels throughout Mexico to document some of the most spectacular Day of the Dead displays. Essays on the evolution of the holiday, as well as practical guides to celebrating—the different kinds of altars, and how to make your own, are sprinkled amongst gorgeous, sweeping photographs shot all over the country at local Día de Muertos festivals. The book will have recipes for making your own sugar skulls and papel picado from noted artist Sarahli Wilcox of @hauz.and.co, plus a recipe for pan de muerto from Brooklyn-based baker Fany Gerson.
Whether you are new to the holiday and celebrating for the first time, looking to process a recent loss, or just interested in this important cultural tradition, Day of the Dead will paint a vibrant picture of one of the country’s most storied and sacred holidays.
