DAY OF THE DEAD

In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a colourful festival that celebrates the memory of departed loved ones through joy, creativity and sharing. We, too, asked ourselves: how do we remember our dead, and what can we learn from other cultures?

As they do every year, the Spanish students dressed up Catrinas and came up with stories for them. We also had the pleasure of welcoming Mr Moret, Consul and Cultural Attaché at the Mexican Embassy, who invited us to try the traditional ‘bread of the dead’.

This year, our Day of the Dead altar is dedicated to the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, who was murdered 90 years ago.
