Join our Dia de los Muertos bike ofrenda workshop and bike ride on Saturday, November 6 where we are the moving altars!

We invite you on a bike ride to honor the ancestors of this land: it's people, flora, fauna, cosmos. We will be sowing ancestral seeds of gratitude and resilience with surprise guests as we honor our ancestors at various stops. This 8-mile moderate ride will begin and end at Self Help Graphics. We invite you to turn your body and your bicycle into a mobile altar!

Los Angeles-based artist Sandra de la Loza will lead participants in a mobile ofrenda workshop and bike ride, in the spirit of Día de los Muertos, to honor your ancestors!

This free and family-friendly workshop will begin at 2:00 p.m. and provide participants with the opportunity to develop their own mobile altar by creating hands-on paper calacas, decorative wheels with handmade spokes, and create altars for handlebars or a cargo rack. Participants will depart from Self Help Graphics & Art at 4:00 p.m. on a tour to different community neighborhood altars, experience poetry and other performances throughout the ride.
