This event was absolutely empowering and had a component of my culture. In my family my grandma makes altars too and seeing Ofelias Esparza's work was absolutely amazing. My grandma could not pass on her work like Ofelia does with her family but the knowledge and tradition in our family is very well alive. I love seeing the detail they added to the altars, they were personalized and made the altars celebrate the dead. I learned that the ofrenda is a reflection of what we have inside of us. Also, that people are not far from healing. Overall, I really enjoyed hearing the panelist stories and seeing the amazing creations my classmates made for their altar/ofrenda.
