Who do you want to remember? It could be someone you’ve lost recently or a bereavement from decades ago. It could be an ancestor or someone famous who’s died. We want to celebrate them.

Our annual Dia De Los Muertos inspired Ofrenda is in the window of The Nests (Regent Street, Leeds) between October 23rd and November 8th to give the people of Leeds a chance to celebrate those we've loved and lost.

With contributions from the public and objects made by Zion Studio (Mexico) our Ofrenda will be visible from outside the venue and can also be viewed and contributed to from inside while events are taking place at The Nests.

We are inviting members of the public to contribute photos and memories of people they want to commemorate, from friends and family to inspirational figures.

What is an Ofrenda?

To celebrate Day of the Dead in Mexico, people build Ofrendas to remember friends, family and people of significance. Ofrendas are brightly coloured displays filled with photographs, flowers, candles, food and significant objects. They are a central part of celebrating those we have loved and lost, from close family to our heroes from music or sport. Ofrendas can be small and simple or big and grand, depending on how the people building it want it to look.

This Ofrenda is a collaboration between artists from Zion Studio in Mexico City and Polite Rebellion in Leeds.
