For the past month, two floors of the MLK library have been home to overflowing ofrendas complete with candles, sugar skulls and marigold pedal pathways, all assembled as part of the library’s “Art of Remembrance” Dia de Muertos exhibit. The altars might come down this weekend, but the experience will live on in a surprising new space: virtual reality. Embracing the changing role of libraries in the 21st century, the SJPL will release an interactive virtual tour of the exhibit this weekend, a first for the library system and a striking example of Dia de Muertos’ position at the crossroads of tradition and modernity. Visit library.sjsu.edu/exhibits for info.
