Spanish Language Students visit the Latino Cultural Center

 
Yesterday, third year Spanish Language students enjoyed Halloween Day with a visit to the Latino Cultural Center of Dallas. The Center is currently celebrating the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with an exhibit of art from the local community. In fact, two of the altars on display came from Spanish language students at Ursuline!  It was a beautiful day, perfect for enjoying the vibrant and thought-provoking exhibit.
  
Welcome to the Centro Cultural Latino!

So colorful!

UA students created this altar in memory of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo


Such an interesting painting in memory of a loved one ...

This altar was dedicated to the Human Rights Activist, Cesar Chavez, and it was also made by UA students
