The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts will be exhibiting new and cutting edge artists to join us in a cultural collaboration with the souls of the dead. MCCLA has a long history of calling upon the dead in the months of October and November. Some of those souls have lost their way in the journey. The goal of this year’s exhibitions is to solicit the help of the spirits of Jose Guadalupe Posada and Manuel Manilla to guide the souls who have lingered, and for those who are arriving to have a safe and festive journey back into the spiritual realm. This juried exhibition will run parallel to an exhibition of original works by print masters Jose Guadalupe Posada and Manuel Manilla circa late 1800.
