"Alebrijes" parade held in Mexico

A team rolls their creation through the historic center of Mexico City, during a parade of giant "alebrijes," fantastical creatures made from papier-mâché and painted in bright colors, Saturday, October 21, 2017. The Museum of Popular Art organizes the annual alebrije contest to showcase the folk art tradition which originated in the 1930s, when Mexico City folk artist Pedro Linares began building representations based on creatures he dreamt about during a severe illness.
