OCTOBER 27 A DAY OF THE DEAD OFRENDA FOR JULIA PASTRANA October 27th – November 24th Octavio Paz Gallery

This year’s ofrenda was dedicated to Julia Pastrana, (1834 – 1860) an indigenous Mexican woman born with hypertrichosis, who took part in 19th-century exhibition tours in North America and Europe. Pastrana’s face and body were covered with straight black hair, her ears and nose were unusually large, and her teeth were irregular. She was a remarkably intelligent, art-inclined woman. In just a few years, Pastrana went from a largely poor, rural section of Mexico’s Pacific Coast to New York and London, to Vienna and Berlin. In Moscow, in the winter of 1860, just days after giving birth to a baby boy, she passed away. Pastrana and her baby’s bodies were exhibited throughout Europe for decades. It wasn’t until last year that Pastrana’s body was returned to Mexico. Laura Anderson Barbata, the Mexican-American artist that led the efforts to bring Pastrana home, coordinated our ofrenda.
