Despite wariness on behalf of organizers, thousands of people peacefully converged on the Mission last night to participate in the annual Dia de los Muertos procession. There were no reports of trouble or injuries.
While many attendees – sporting creatively painted faces and elaborate costumes – turned out for the procession and general festivities, about 100 people came specifically to join a protest against the evictions and demographic changes currently sweeping across the City. See Peter Maiden’s photos on Indybay.org and check back later here for more on the community action.
After a night of talking about death and cultural destruction, those looking for some life-affirming stretching can get into the cobra pose for free. Today – and every non-rainy Sunday – at 11 a.m. in Dolores Park, Purusha Yoga teachers host a donation-based yoga class. After yoga, continue on to the Asian Art Museum, as admission is free there on the first Sunday of every month. Art lovers will also have the chance to see local artists in their natural environment as it’s the third weekend of the month-long annual ArtSpan’s SF Open Studios 2013.
Sun salutations!
