Day of the Dead Workshop: Making a Nicho

Join visual artist Brioch for a two-hour, hands-on workshop exploring the rich traditions of Mexico’s Day of the Dead through art-making. Participants will create a nicho—a small, decorated shadow box honoring a departed loved one—using a vibrant mix of materials such as ribbons, acrylic paints and patterned papers.

All materials will be provided—just bring your imagination. Participants are encouraged to come early or stay late to explore the museum. Advance registration is required. The recommended age is 18+. Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
