In Mexican tradition, death does not represent an end, but a transition, a continuity that connects generations through remembrance and celebration. This photography exhibition invites us to immerse ourselves in one of Mexico's most profoundly spiritual rituals: the Night of the Dead, as experienced in the region of Pátzcuaro, Michoacán.

Through over 20 images captured with sensitivity and respect, this exhibition reveals the ritual beauty of a night where the light of candles guides souls and the fragrance of cempasúchil traces invisible paths between the living and the dead. The photographs, taken in communities such as Janitzio, Tzintzuntzan, Ihuatzio, and Santa Fe de la Laguna, document not only the visual elements of the tradition but also the collective soul of those who keep it alive.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Bordando Nuestras Raíces.
