Description
Laura Anderson Barbata's large-scale, participatory community altar transforms Green-Wood's Historic Chapel into a meditative space. The installation features handwoven hammocks crafted with Mexican artisans using pre-Columbian techniques, alongside papel picado, paper marigold garlands, and whimsical skeleton imagery. Visitors are invited to add photos, notes, flowers, or other small mementos, decorate a calavera, and share memories on a red ribbon.
