Now in its 26th year, SOMArts’ annual Día de Los Muertos exhibition is one of the most internationally diverse Day of the Dead celebrations in the United States. Founded by beloved San Francisco artist and curator René Yañez, Día de Los Muertos at SOMArts continues to be a multigenerational gathering of remembrance while affirming the importance of arts & culture in shaping our worlds.

“Día de Los Muertos 2025: We Love You” features self-identified women, trans, and gender nonconforming artists, including lead artists of group or collective projects. “We Love You” cultivates a safe and welcoming environment where altars–whether rooted in Mexican tradition or expressed through conceptual art–serve as a response to the challenges posed by the current administration. In keeping with the tradition of Día de los Muertos, the exhibition also includes personal altars dedicated to loved ones who have passed.
