The Beloved Pets Ofrenda just made its seasonal debut at LA Zoo.
, created in partnership with Plaza de la Raza Cultural Center for the Arts & Education, and it just opened at the Griffith Park destination.
"The Zoo feels that National Hispanic Heritage Month is a critically important moment to highlight the culture and art of our Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx communities. By co-creating this ofrenda with an institution like Plaza de la Raza, the guests will have the unique opportunity to not only express their empathy for all living things, but also learn more about the rich and deep culture of Hispanic heritage — a culture closely tied to the history of Los Angeles.
That is warmly encouraged. There will be an area to print or draw a picture of your pet, should you arrive without one, and staffers will be standing by to assist on weekends."On Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022, resident folklorist artist America Madrigal-Herrera led a team of Plaza de la Raza parents and students in co-creating the altar at the L.A. Zoo along with Zoo Manager of Community Programs Coral Barreiro and Zoo Learning & Engagement staff," shares the zoo.
