This year's Día de los Muertos Ofrenda at Duke Chapel features newly commissioned artwork by Ricky Armendariz, a Texas-based artist whose work explores the blend of Mexican, American, and Indigenous cultures along the U.S.-Mexico border. A collaboration with Duke Arts, Say the Thing and the Innovation Co-Lab, the installation incorporates a series of original panel designs by Armendariz, engraved at the Co-Lab and added to this year's Ofrenda. Now in its fourth year, the Ofrenda returns as part of Duke Chapel's mission to bridge faith, learning, and community through art and shared remembrance. Visitors are invited to participate in this cherished Mexican tradition by contributing photographs, mementos, written tributes, or links to a communal paper chain honoring departed loved ones. Visit the Ofrenda on your own or join us for special events leading up to Día de los Muertos on November 1 and 2. Your participation helps weave a tapestry of memories and stories, honoring the enduring significance of this cherished tradition.
