Community has a way of coming together. Dressed as catrinas, dozens of women in skull makeup and flower crowns walked alongside hundreds of others through San Francisco\u2019s Mission District on Sunday for the neighborhood\u2019s 44th annual D\u00eda de Muertos procession. Aztec dancers led the way, their rattles keeping rhythm for families carrying marigolds, candles and portraits of loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the late 1970s, when the Mission\u2019s first D\u00eda de Muertos procesi\u00f3n took shape, Galer\u00eda de la Raza and El Comit\u00e9 de Rescate Cultural have safeguarded its tradition and upheld the grassroots ethos of El Comit\u00e9\u2019s founder, Juan Pablo Guti\u00e9rrez S\u00e1nchez: \u201cNuestros muertos no se venden.\u201d That principle has kept the event in the hands of community artists and neighborhood residents ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, the Mission\u2019s D\u00eda de Muertos is a day of joy as much as remembrance, and in that joy, a form of defiance. \u201cIt\u2019s always been organic,\u201d said Louie Guti\u00e9rrez, owner of La Reyna Panader\u00eda. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes it tick \u2014 that, with or without anything, the people are going to congregate at 22nd and Bryant at 7 p.m. on November 2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to fundraise for this year\u2019s 44th event, Guti\u00e9rrez gathered cultural workers the night of October 8th at Medicine for Nightmares for Catrina Poes\u00eda y Pachanga in an evening of words, music and art that brought together poets from multiple generations and backgrounds: Josiah Luis Aldrete, Lidia Yanira, Kevin Madrigal Galindo (Chef Papi Chulo), and neighborhood legends Luis de la Garza and Hurac\u00e1n G\u00f3mez, who shared verses of nostalgia and revolution from the Mission and El Salvador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00eda de los Muertos has always been DIY. \u201cIt\u2019s ours,\u201d said Louie. \u201cI think it\u2019s come to be that way because of the loss of community through gentrification and COVID.\u201dDespite the fear and uncertainty<\/a>, Sunday\u2019s procession was packed with Latino families and their children, first at Potrero del Sol Park for the Festival of Altars, then around Bryant and 24th streets. The aromas of burning sage and bacon-wrapped hot dogs filled the chilly air as Selena blared from a lowrider. Surrounding them, people danced in celebration, for both the living and the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
