1. In the NEA National Heritage Tribute Video: Ofelia Esparza, she mentions the three deaths that people suffer (2:59), how does this affect their culture's outlook on death and way to live life?
2. In the "Rhetoric of the Object", Jennifer Gonzalez states "Amalia Mesa-Bains... an attempt to both emulate and undermine the authority of the museum by presenting a revisionist ethnography of a cultural heroine complete with photographs..." (69). Why did Amalia Mesa-Bains choose to utilize the ofrenda to make her statement?
3. In "Master Altar-Maker: LA's national treasure", Ofelia states, “One shouldn’t consider Día de los Muertos a holiday because it devalues the tradition and meaning behind it.” How does your family or culture seek to preserve your ancestors' legacy?
