About this event
Mitote is a Nahuatl word covering gathering, dance and celebration together, and that is the shape of the morning: ancestral Aztec dance honouring the natural elements, drumming and music, art-making, and four hours of building something collective on the lakefront ahead of Día de los Muertos.
Why we picked it
Ceremonial Aztec dance on the lakefront, with the public dancing rather than watching.
