Milwaukee's First Comparsa Oaxaqueña || Colectivo Tu'ukmuk x Walker's Point Center for the Arts
For a few hours during the opening of our 32nd Annual Día de los Muertos exhibition, our beloved Walker’s Point neighborhood was transported to Oaxaca.
It would not have been possible without Conhg Lopez (@conhglopez) and Colectivo Tu'ukmuk (@Colectivo Tu'ukmuk) who led Milwaukee’s first comparsa oaxaqueña, a parade that honors and celebrates life and death. In these uncertain times, celebrations like this are more important than ever - they remind us that we are not alone and that there is beauty in our traditions and cultures. We were loud and proud. And instead of blocking us out, the community embraced us - strangers joined in, onlookers smiled and bounced to the beat of our drums. These are the moments that keep us going. Thank you for accepting our invitation to join us for this event!
Shout out to the following groups who performed during the parade: Tamborazo Santa Maria (@tamborazo_santamaria), Grupo Ita Ñuu Tye’di (@grupo.ita.nuu.tye.di), Banda Nueva Emperadora (@banda_nueva_emperadora), Banda Filarmonica (@Banda Filarmónica Ayuujk Xuuxp), Danza de los Plumudos (Santa Maria Huazolotitlan Oaxaca) and Danza de los Diablos (Chicometepec Oaxaca). We hope to see you all again next year!

Durante unas horas, durante la inauguración de nuestra 32.ª exposición anual del Día de los Muertos, nuestro querido barrio de Walker’s Point se trasladó a Oaxaca.
No hubiera sido posible sin Conhg Lopez y Colectivo Tu'ukmuk, quienes encabezaron la primera comparsa oaxaqueña de Milwaukee, un desfile que honra y celebra la vida y la muerte. En estos tiempos inciertos, celebraciones como esta son más importantes que nunca: nos recuerdan que no estamos solos y que hay belleza en nuestras tradiciones y culturas-con fuerza y orgullo. Y en lugar de excluirnos, la comunidad nos abrazó: los extraños se sumaron, los espectadores sonrieron y saltaron al ritmo de nuestros tambores. Estos son los momentos que nos hacen seguir adelante. ¡Gracias por aceptar nuestra invitación para unirse a nosotros en este evento!
También apreciamos a los siguientes grupos que actuaron durante el desfile: Tamborazo Santa María, Grupo Ita Ñuu Tye’di, Banda Nueva Emperadora, Banda Filarmonica, Danza de los Plumudos (Santa Maria Huazolotitlan Oaxaca), Danza de los Diablos (Chicometepec Oaxaca). ¡Esperamos verlos a todos de nuevo el año que viene!
