Day of the Dead Exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts

Stay Informed!

Founded in 1970, the Ecology Center serves one purpose: protecting healthy people and a healthy planet. We believe that the central question of our time is how human beings are going to thrive in the world without destroying the earth's ability to sustain us. This can only be achieved as a strong movement. Sign up to receive emails about ways you can get involved, take actions and learn about important updates from the Ecology Center.

This year’s Day of the Dead Exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts honors three beloved community members whose lives were cut short by poor air quality — DJ, Curley, and Sylvia. Their stories remind us why clean air isn’t just a policy issue. It’s about protecting our kids, our workers, and our neighbors.

Visit the exhibit Sept. 27 – Nov. 2 (during regular museum hours) to celebrate their lives and reflect on how we can build a healthier future together. Detroit deserves clean air.

There will also be a private event at the DIA on Thursday, October 23rd from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Join us to view the altar, enjoy food, music, & the virtual altar before hearing youth poetry and attending a panel with artists, families, and advocates.
