Altars for Collective Grief is a community-based, care-centered project honoring people who are still alive yet living with absence—through deportation, separation, displacement, incarceration, illness, or other forms of forced distance.
This work creates temporary and ongoing altars as acts of remembrance, resistance, and love. Each altar is shaped in collaboration with participants, guided by consent, memory, and the everyday details that make a person who they are.
We understand grief not as something to be resolved, but as something to be held together.
