Chef and healer Marlene Rojas of Tsiri taught our Chinatown elders about Día de los Muertos and shared tamales made from masa she grew and ground by hand. In return, elders shared their own tradition of Qingming (清明節), Tomb-Sweeping Day, when families visit their ancestors' graves, sweep them clean, and offer food, incense, and flowers. Together, elders helped build a community ofrenda for Oakland Bloom's celebration with the Latinx community the next day.
