The holiday encourages keeping deep bonds with ancestors and loved ones that have passed away.<\/p>\n<p>Victor-Mario Zaballa, a longtime artist in SOMart\u2019s Dia de los Muertos exhibit, dedicates his altar to family lineage of artesanas (craft makers) with a traditional altar, sugar skulls, flowers and papel picado.<\/p>\n<p>The altar \u201cLive Vibrantly\u201d makes its home for the recently deceased Daniel del Solar, a lifelong media documentarian of the struggles for social justice, especially those in Latin America. Del Solar documented every Dia de los Muertos exhibit in the Bay Area and now in spirit collaborators Miranda Bergman, Ana Luisa and Nina Serrano have made sure he is remembered.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17020\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eltecolote.org\/content\/2012\/10\/day-of-the-dead-altars-come-alive\/somarts_06web\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17020\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17020  \" title=\"SoMarts_06web\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SoMarts_06web.jpg?resize=360%2C239&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SoMarts_06web.jpg?resize=360%2C239&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SoMarts_06web.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SoMarts_06web.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chloe Rose y su obra \u201cA Joyful Exit\u201d.

He invites visitors to hang a ribbon decorated with stickers representing each family member. Each sticker has a symbol for male, female or intersex, and is therefore inclusive of the evolving identities of sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren are relating to it a lot and that\u2019s a measure for me for great success because that is community,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t need to read anything \u2026 they just want to hang up a ribbon (of their family).
