Personal Altars with OLD Slug Queen Santa Frida Elisa Refugio Babosita (Mija Matriz)

"These sacred spaces I create are a powerful reminder of who I am, who I'm connected to, and that I am very much loved." In this video you will see how to create these sacred spaces in your own home. You can come to the Springfield Public Library and Springfield History Museum through November 8, 2021 to see OLD Slug Queen Santa Frida Elisa Refugio Babosita's very personal, beautiful installations that honor her grandparents. In addition, you can visit the museum windows on 6th Street (on the corner of Main Street) to see the Community Ofrenda that everyone in the community is invited to lend a piece to.
