NYU Tisch Department of Photography & Imaging alum Mallika Vora (BFA '13) was recently featured as a photographer for Vogue, showcasing moments she captured of Dia de Muertos celebrations in Mexico City's Xochimilco district.
She was drawn specifically to Xochimilco for its "approach to the holiday [which] is also informed by its own particular structure and traditions—including a fierce appreciation for every occasion, whether big or small," acknowledging how its celebrations and traditions set it apart from the rest of Mexico City.
The article showcasing her photographs, "Celebrating Dia de los Muertos Among the Flowers in Xochimilco," can be viewed online on Vogue's website.
