KARANAKUY
Since 2018, Green-Wood has commissioned artists to create a large-scale community altar in the Cemetery’s Historic Chapel in honor of the holiday each year. This year’s altar, created by Raul Ayala, pays homage to the traditions of the Ecuadorian Andes, where November 2nd is celebrated as Día de los Difuntos (Day of the Deceased or All Soul’s Day).
Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
