HeLa Retablo

It's Retablo time!!! Every year, Lawndale has a retablo exhibition to honor and celebrate Dia de los Muertos.  The retablos are sold for fundraising at a silent auction gala.  I've been making a retablo for Lawndale for many years and really look forward to the whole event every year.  For this year's retablo, I took inspiration from the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks  by Rebecca Skloot which told the story of Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells.





For more information about all the Dia de Los Muertos festivites and tickets to the gala at Lawndale click here. Hope to see you all that gala!
