Carla Guzman is dressed as a Mexican skeletal iconic figure known as “La Catrina” ahead of the Day of the Dead celebrations, in Mexico City, Friday, October 29, 2021. In 1910, when Mexico was living under the exclusionary policies of dictator Porfirio Diaz, illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada sketched the image of La Catrina as a tool for social satire. The implication was that the extravagance of a few who were accumulating vast wealth was killing others. Diaz was deposed at the start of the Mexican revolution, while the skeletal dame became etched in popular culture. (Photo by Emilio Espejel/AP Photo)
