Scripps College Humanities Institute Presents:
LA OFRENDA HOW SACRED SPACE CREATES CONNECTION
With Ofelia Esparza and Rosanna Ahrens Esparza
Performance by: Mariachi Voz de America
Wednesday, October 12th | 6:00 pm | Clark Humanities Museum, Scripps College

When creating an ofrenda – we are creating a sacred space. This space reflects what is known – a confidence. It represents identity (personal, emotional and cultural). The ofrenda offers CONNECTION, to understanding the struggles, sacrifices, creativity, resourcefulness, and wisdom of the ancestors. The ofrenda informs our resiliency and creativity, bringing forth the wisdom to this time, this place and this community with dignity and an empowered energy, fortifying the mental health of our Community. In our workshop, students will come together with stories of their own ancestors along with photos, poems, writings and other personal mementos to contribute to the community ofrenda. We will discuss how this practice of storytelling creates bridges that foster healing through the dignity of our histories.

Chicana visual artists, Ofelia Esparza (b.1932) and Rosanna Esparza Ahrens (b.1961), are master altaristas (altar makers) born and raised in East Los Angeles, CA. Ofelia is highly recognized for her Day of the Dead ofrendas (altars/shrines), which have been shown nationally and internationally since 1979. Her work celebrates her spirituality and Indigenous heritage from the Purepecha culture of Southern Guanajuato, Mexico. A great portion of her work honors womanhood, and reflects the spirituality found in nature and in the dignity of the people around her. Informed by her mother’s altar-making traditions, Esparza’s ofrendas, for Day of the Dead, and Nacimientos (nativity scenes), became integral in her art curriculum at City Terrace Elementary School, where she taught for 30 years and retired in 1999. Her role as educator extended beyond the classroom and into her community; she sees herself as a cultural facilitator, through her ofrenda-building. She is a 2018 National Heritage Fellow with National Endowment of the Arts (NEA).

This week!
We hope to see you there

The Souls of White Jokes: How Racist Humor Fuels White Supremacy
Friday, October 7th at 2:00-3:15 PM at Rose Hills Theatre, Pomona College

Having a “good” sense of humor generally means being able to take a joke without getting offended… but do the stakes change when the jokes are racist? Raúl Pérez confronts this unsettling question, arguing that doing so is crucial to understanding the persistence of racism and white supremacy in American Society.
