Join us on Facebook as Dr. Gloria Arjona presents the little-known side of José Guadalupe Posada, creator of iconic Día de los Muertos imagery. In a bilingual presentation, Dr. Arjona reveals his humorous rhymes and illustrations commenting on then-contemporary – but eerily relevant – persons and issues, including politicians, pandemics, and racism.
