Offeranda – The Mexican Day of the Dead
In 2006 Mexico celebrated the 600th anniversary of the birth of “Tilatoani”, a great Monarch and port. Keeping in with these festivities the Mexican embassy in New Delhi came in collaboration with Sanskriti Foundation to invite the Iconic and much-celebrated artist from Mexico Rev. Maestro Felipe Erhenberg, who agreed to come to India and not only put up an “OFFERANDA” but in order to pass on the cultural similarities between the two countries, to a new generation, held a workshop over eight days with the students from College of Art, New Delhi. These students twenty-five in number worked with the Maestro from 10am in the morning to late evenings, preparing the Offeranda & experiencing the mystique powers. It was finally put up on the 2nd of November 2006 and opened to people from all walks of life to come and experience the cultural similarities from two different corners of the world not withstanding the Geographical boundaries or distance in time. It was indeed an honour and a unique experience. |
