All tagged day of the dead
The Day of the Dead (November 1st) is approaching, and so is the day of the Faithful Departed (November 2nd) two days that are particularly important in several Latin American cultures. Although there are variations in the traditions, one common thread among all the celebrations is that those days are meant to be about remembering, and visiting those we lost... or rather allowing them to visit us.
“I have always been very connected to the land. Coming from a Mexican family that grows food and flowers, it is only natural that I find comfort working with the land in my art practice. It connects me to home and defines my identity.”
Based in Calgary, Rocio Graham is a multi-disciplinary artist whose art practice is influenced by her cultural heritage, experiences as a woman, interest in life cycles, and knowledge of botany. She emigrated from Mexico to Calgary in 2002, and brought with her a deep appreciation for gardening instilled in her by her family from a young age.
