DENVER — A Denver artist is inviting the community to visit and interact with Día de los Muertos altars he crafted across Colorado.
Duran, born and raised in Denver, brings that color and vibrancy to art installations known as ofrendas, or altars. Ahead of celebrations on November 1 and 2, Duran built a dozen ofrendas across Colorado.Ofrendas are traditionally built to honor loved ones who have passed away. Unlike most art exhibits where you're allowed to see but not touch, Duran invites Coloradans to interact with his altars.
At the History Colorado Center in Denver, Duran’s altar honors the contributions of women known as “Corn Mothers,” including artist Rita Wallace de Flores, whose textile art is on display.Duran collaborated with the 90-year-old artist and former teacher to build the altar. At the center of the display is an enormous paper mâché sculpture of a storytelling woman with children and skeletons gathering to hear the tales.
The skeletons symbolize the duality of life and death, and that we are all the same down to our bones.
