The Urn
Not shown in the video above is the festival sculpture called the Urn. Tucson hosts the annual All Souls Procession, a colorful and moving celebration and mourning of the lives of lost loved ones and ancestors. The event brings over 150,000 participants to Downtown Tucson each year in early November. In 2012, Creative Machines had the honor of fabricating the iconic Urn for the famous All Souls Procession. The Urn is a receptacle for mementos, prayers, messages, and remembrances of those we have loved and lost. At the culmination of the Finale, the Urn is burned, and the collective hopes, prayers, love, grief, memories, tributes, and remembrances are consumed by the flames and dissolve into the ether, bringing an end to another All Souls season.
