Celebrating the Dead in Peru
October 8, 2016

The Latin American Resource Center has been exploring Day of the Dead across the Americas in a four year project that focuses on Mexico, Haiti, Guatemala, Peru, and Brazil. This year, we look at the tradition in Peru. This educator workshop introduces participants to the unique practices of Día de los Difuntos, or Day of the Deceased, which is celebrated in highland areas of Peru. Archaeologists Jason Nesbitt, Bebel Chavin and ethnomusicologist, Javier León will present the unique tradition as it is celebrated in Peru. The program will highlight both the similarities and differences with celebrations elsewhere while focusing on the music, dance, and food involved in Peru. Please join us as we explore a unique celebration of the dead in Peru. All educators who introduce Day of the Dead/día de los muertos in their classrooms will not want to miss this unique perspective to the tradition. Participants will receive lunch, teaching resources, and CEUs. Please pre-register, go to our website to register.
