On Saturday, November 1, at 685 Venice Blvd, Venice, CA (Old Venice Police Station), SPARC’s historic headquarters since 1977, SPARC-UCLA presents their annual “Día de los Muertos / Day of the Dead” ceremony to honor the dearly departed with the annual ritual of The Calling of the Spirits. The traditional ceremony will start at 5:30 P.M. UCLA instructor and SPARC’s Artist in Residence, Martha Ramirez-Oropeza, and her UCLA’s César E. Chávez Chicana/o Studies Department students will guide the ceremony. As in previous years, the ritual and altar setting invites community participation. Please  bring a photo of a loved-one, and his or her personal memento to place on the altar.
