Mi Valedor and Psicocalle commemorate the Day of the Dead with a symbolic offering in the Plaza de las Conchitas.

21/06/2023

As we know, today is the Day of the Dead in our country and our tradition is to place an ofrenda to remember and commemorate all our loved ones and friends who are no longer with us. Today, together with PsicoCalle and students from the 5th semester of psychology at UNAM, we set up an ofrenda in the Plaza de las Conchitas, a chapel in the center of the Plaza de la Concepción, a space inhabited by homeless people who named their deceased in a symbolic act of memory and resistance.

Always remembering those who see us from above!

Lament.

Here we are lost souls

Wandering through the labyrinth

Searching for a tomb without rest

Our night does not end

For we search breathlessly

The light they owe us

Those who walk through life

With eyes closed.

Poem by: Juan Manuel Cárcenas.
