Live Blog 1 - Abby Hecko

I couldn't make it to the event, so I watched it on Facebook after. The recording and connection were very poor. But I talked to friends in the class and read many of the other live blog posts to learn about the events. I felt connected to the experience of making altars through this event because of how Ofelia and Rosanna spoke of the importance of altars in their personal lives. What resonated with me the most was how the altars connected both to the past and the future action, the altar is not only a memorial. Something that also stood out to me was when Ofelia was describing her altar where she set out placemats and settings for people crossing the border and the migrant workers. This resonated with me because it connected to one of the altars I saw that one of our classmates made.
