Fascinating artists making their mark in the world inspiring others and bringing joy. From poetry and photography to food and visual art, artist enrich our lives.

The visually stunning film depicts the artists Marie-Astrid Do-Rodriguez and Eli Reyes wearing their altars, Covid-19 era living installations, created with mixed folk arts media while narrating stories of family, grief and consolation. Do-Rodriguez and Reyes, folk arts teachers at Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy in San Pablo, CA, could not create an in-person community altar because of Covid-19 restrictions. So the filmmakers were invited to create a film to convey their creative process and stories of loss, gratitude and healing.
