Join GRAM and local artist and activist Reyna Garcia in honoring the history and tradition of Día de los Muertos through a community ofrenda, located in GRAM’s Creative Learning Center. An ofrenda is an altar built to remember and celebrate lost loved ones. Museum guests may add a memento, photo, or tribute to the ofrenda to commemorate someone special from their lives.

About the Artist
Reyna Garcia is a visual artist and cultural activist dedicated to using art as a tool for social justice and empowerment, particularly focusing on underrepresented communities such as Latinos and immigrants. Her work often reflects themes of resilience, identity, and the immigrant experience, drawing from her personal journey as a woman with a disability and an immigrant. Through various forms of artistic expression — including exhibitions, documentaries, and workshops — Garcia strives to create spaces where creativity, leadership, and cultural roots can thrive. She is also committed to uplifting voices through community-driven initiatives and educational projects that explore themes of autonomy, heritage, and resistance.
