Attend or join virtually! | A Peaceful Protest In Remembrance of Loved Ones Lost
Due to Coronavirus
LULAC and Cara Mia Theatre are partnering to hold a remembrance protest vehicle
caravan in honor of the Latinos who have died because of COVID-19.
A highlight of the protest are three towering calaveras, each of them 12-feet
tall. The massive caricature skeletons are being handcrafted for the event, a
cultural celebration in loving remembrance of the lives lost to the pandemic.
Also, the march is challenging the political events that are surrounding their
deaths. The calaveras include La Abuelita, in honor of the universal maternal
spirit. Also, La Corona del Covid, symbolic of the deadly virus that killed our
loved ones illustrated by the crown of COVID-19. The third massive skeleton is La
Trompuda, a caricature displaying the words, “Not My Fault”
The COVID-19 safe, vehicle caravan event was conceived by David Lozano, Executive
Artistic Director of Cara Mia Theatre. His unique cultural project has won the
support of bilingual educator & award-winning author, Roni Capin Rivera-Ashford.
Roni co-authored, along with her son, Aarón, a children's tale about a Mexican
family creating their altar to remember and celebrate the memory of their loved
ones, who have died, during el Día de los Muertos. Miguel and the Amazing
Alebrijes was written at the invitation of the Disney-Pixar's storybook team, to
highlight and accompany the Academy Award-Winning movie, COCO.
