From 21 October to 3 November 2026, the main lobby of the Faculty of Humanities in Sosnowiec will host the exhibition \u2018Eternal M\u00e9xico: A Bridge Between Life and Memory\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Mexican tradition, death does not signify the end of one\u2019s bond with those who have passed away. Remembrance takes the form of vibrant altars\u2014ofrendas<\/em>\u2014prepared for D\u00eda de los Muertos<\/em>, or the Day of the Dead. The exhibition \u2018M\u00e9xico eterno. Un puente entre la vida y la memoria\u2019 (Eternal M\u00e9xico: A Bridge Between Life and Memory) is dedicated to this remarkable tradition, inviting visitors to explore Mexican culture, symbolism and the ways in which those who remain present in our memories are commemorated.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the exhibition stands a traditional Mexican altar, where photographs of notable Mexicans are accompanied by the glow of candles, flowers, colourful skulls, a guitar, and tequila. Each element speaks to themes of memory, transience, music, and the joy of living. Also featured is papel picado<\/em>\u2014intricately cut, colourful paper decorations that are a hallmark of Mexican festive culture.<\/p>\n

What makes this project particularly special is the collaboration between individuals and groups united by a shared passion for language, art, and culture. The texts in Spanish and English were prepared by students of Spanish Studies and Applied Linguistics, who are members of the \u2018El Mundo Hispano\u2019 Student Research Group. The ceramic works were created by young artists from the Youth Palace, while the traditional papel picado<\/em> decorations were crafted by students from Special School No. 6 in Katowice.<\/p>\n

The exhibition serves not only as an opportunity to learn about Mexican customs but also as an example of creative intergenerational and intercultural collaboration.<\/p>\n

Aniela Kucharska, PhD is the initiator and coordinator of the exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u2018M\u00e9xico eterno. Un puente entre la vida y la memoria\u2019 is a story about a country where memory acts as a bridge between the past and the present\u2014where remembering those who have passed away is simultaneously a celebration of their lives and the legacy they left behind. For as long as we remember, those who have departed remain a part of our world.<\/p>\n
