Kansas City Día de Los Muertos Redux

Day of the Dead but in typical Kansas City Westside fashion . . . We're dragging it out in order to keep the party and ethnic posturing going.

To wit . . .


LONELY TKC FRIDAY NIGHT READERS ARE INVITED TO JOIN THIS CELEBRATION OF KANSAS CITY CHICANO DEATH CULTURE!!!

Nice crowd of mostly middle-class people for this First Friday party . . .



The mood was festive but still oddly reverent . . . There were a lot of altars dedicated to long lost loved ones . . .



Pretty good display of Latino death art on display inside the the Mattie Rhodes Art Center this evening.



The Selena tribute was probably the most creative/sarcastic exhibit that TKC appreciated more than anybody else.



Kansas City mariachi jazz man . . .



#TakeTheCrown to the grave . . .



I didn't get a title on this one but I call it "Kansas City Ebola Diagnosis"



And even in death there is Kansas City politics to consider . . .

CHECK THIS KANSAS CITY TRIBUTE TO THE SUBJECT OF STL POLICE SHOOTING RAGE MIKE BROWN!!!



A closer look claims Kansas City stands with Ferguson.



This is yet another creative and provocative display courtesy of the activists @ 1 Struggle KC.

The weekend has just started, HOPEFULLY, we'll have more BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE NEWS, discussion, debate, discourse, more than our share of hateration and then all kinds of good stuff for the Saturday morning update: STAY TUNED!!!
