Day of the deid
This month’s blog was written by Mariana Bracho Escalante. Mariana is originally from Cancun Mexico but moved to Scotland in 2022 and has made Falkirk her home for the last two years. Mariana has worked with refugees and asylum seekers for the last ten years and she now works for Falkirk Council as a Refugee Resettlement Worker. She has lived in Spain, Mexico, Palestine, England and now Scotland. She loves to travel, read and has a deep love for films. To coincide with our screenings of the Disney-Pixar animation Coco (2017) at the Hippodrome on 26th and 27th October, we invited Mariana to write a blog piece about the Day of the Dead tradition from her home-country, so central to the film. Mariana is also creating a special Day of the Dead altar at the Hippodrome which you can see when you visit in the days leading up to the screenings and you can even take up Mariana’s invitation to make your own addition to the altar.
