Sociable History Club is our monthly talks series for adults with guest speakers and a different theme each time.

Join Dr Gregory MacJudges, Assistant Site Development Officer at Leeds City Museum, to find out about the surprising, and often contradictory beginnings of Dias de los Muertos. Delve into 19th and 20th century nationalist indigenismo, where secularism vied with Catholicism and the Mexican state attempted to distance itself from Europe. What does the Day of the Dead means now for Mexico and the world?

This talk is part of Leeds City Museum’s Sociable History Club, our monthly talks series for adults with guest speakers and a different theme each time.

Refreshments provided.
