UCSB Library is pleased to present a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) altar created in collaboration between the California Ethnic & Multicultural Archives (CEMA), Las Maestras Center, and the Makerspace in honor of the holiday. The altar is composed of key elements created by UCSB students and staff in workshops throughout the month of October, including paper picado, tissue marigolds, decorated picture frames, and papier-mache skulls and will be on display until November 6 in the Library’s Ethnic and Gender Studies Collection space (2nd Floor, Ocean Side).

Opening Reception: Sunday, November 1, 1–3 pm.

A House United is a new documentary film about a powerful movement sweeping the nation—and about the people working to build a new future. It's not a depressing film about polarization. In fact no matter the outcome of the midterm elections and no matter how you voted, you'll find this story full of optimism. Join us to watch and meet some of the young people building a future across the differences that can divide us.
