Marigolds hold profound significance across various cultures, symbolizing themes of love, devotion, and remembrance. In Mexico, where I currently reside, during Día de los Muertos, marigolds, known as "cempasúchil," are believed to guide the spirits of the departed back to the living with their vibrant color and scent. In India, marigolds are integral to religious ceremonies and festivals, symbolizing auspiciousness and used in offerings to deities. Their bright hues are thought to attract positive energy and ward off negativity. In Christianity, marigolds, referred to as "Mary's Gold," are associated with the Virgin Mary, symbolizing her golden aura and divine presence. On a personal and practical level, Marigolds were my grandma's favorite flower and she planted them everywhere to keep the deer away from the food gardens.
These cross-cultural connections highlight the marigold's universal role in embodying love, spirituality, and the eternal cycle of life — so I was inspired to challenge this group of artists to explore the Marigold — along with inspiration coming from seasonal timing, the flowers being the same color as the Bitcoin logo and the Sphere in Las Vegas during the recent UFC Fight Nights 306 had an immersive multimedia experience that wove in marigolds. These shared symbols tap into common human experiences, fostering connections across diverse societies. In this curation, I pulled artists from different areas of the world and varied practices to embrace this universal symbol and what it means to them with the only caveat it has to include the symbolism of the marigold somewhere in the piece. I hope you enjoy 🌈🖤
