✨ We are pleased to invite you to share one of Mexico’s most meaningful traditions: Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). ✨
This year, we are delighted to welcome back Mexican artist Ana Quiroz, who will present the altar installation:
WHISPER OF HUMMINGBIRDS, A NEW LIFE
A poetic work that invites us to reflect on memory, life, and continuity, through handcrafted papier-mâché transformed into delicate, fluttering hummingbirds.
The altar will be dedicated to Bodil Christensen and Helga Larsen, Danish sisters whose story will be shared by Jesper Nielsen, Mesoamerican specialist, in his talk:
“Remembering Helga and Bodil: How Two Danish Sisters Became Ethnographers in Mexico in the 1930s” — a fascinating journey into the history of two Danish women who found in Mexico a path of cultural discovery.
📅 Date: Thursday, October 30, 2025
🕓 Time: 16:30 – 18:00
📍 Venue: Room 15.a.2.11, University of Copenhagen
Karen Blixen Plads 8, 2300 Copenhagen
And because no Día de los Muertos celebration is complete without its traditional flavors, the university dining hall will present a Mexican-inspired menu and introduce the audience to Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead), closing the day in a warm and communal spirit.
💀✨ It will be a space to remember, honour, and celebrate life together.
👉 We look forward to seeing you there!
