Calaveritas Literarias: A Día de Muertos Writing Tradition

Calaveritas literarias are the Mexican tradition of lighthearted mock obituaries, written for Día de Muertos to gently poke fun at life's absurdities. On Friday, October 30, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries host a workshop where participants first examine José Guadalupe Posada's satirical prints, then write their own calaveritas. The program is free with museum admission, first come, first served, and capped at 40 people. ASL interpretation is available on request.
