Día de los Muertos
The Day of the Dead, an Indigenous tradition originally celebrated throughout the fall inviting the living to celebrate life and death with loved ones who’ve passed. It’s believed during this time, spirits of the departed visit loved ones and to welcome them, families and friends create gifts and offerings to guide them home.
To bring in Indigenous Peoples Month and to celebrate the shoulders our campus community stands on we would like to invite all to participate! We have picture frames available to display photographs of those you wish to honor and index cards if you would like to honor someone who has passed but don’t have an image of. You can also bring objects, food, or other items enjoyed by your loved ones.
Shoreline Clay Club
Along with the aforementioned event, work created by Shoreline College’s students in Ceramics Club will be displayed. It is traditional to leave handmade offerings as a way of remembering and celebrating the connections we have with those who are no longer with us and those who still are. Every time someone throws on the wheel or hand builds a piece of pottery. We are building off of the generational knowledge that existed before us and remembering the people who taught us, and in turn the people who taught them. Everyday we get to come in and be inspired by each other. Through the willingness people have to teach and connect with one another.
