"Alebrijes" parade held in Mexico

A man in a mask walks in front of a giant "alebrijes," during a parade of the fantastical creatures made from papier-mâché and painted in bright colors, in Mexico City, 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.
