Tonight, join Mexican-American filmmaker and DJ Eva Aridjis Porter, director of La Santa Muerte (Saint Death) for a night devoted to death in Mexico in honor of Day of the Dead! The night will include an illustrated lecture by Aridjis about the relationship to death in ancient and contemporary Mexico, followed by a gothic dance party featuring songs about death (including some from Mexico). Other offerings will include face painting by Jane Rose, margaritas, and a costume contest (theme: Day of the Dead meets Goth)!
