Self Help Graphics & Art’s 2026 Día de Los Muertos Commemorative Print is Monarchs and Migration: Children at the BoArder of Freedom, by Consuelo G. Flores. This serigraph is dedicated to children who came to the U.S. seeking freedom but ultimately died in detention in U.S. Border Patrol centers.

Regarding the print, Flores says, “The focus of this print is on the children featured and the potential that was lost when they died in the hands of Border Patrol custody. This is a call back and reminder to our immigrant past, of the many transplants from other countries, of my own siblings who entered this country as children.”

The children depicted, left to right, are Juan de Leon Gutierrez, Wilmer Josue Ramirez Vasquez, Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez, Marlee Juarez, Felipe Gómez Alonzo, and Jakelin Caal. All of the children depicted came to the United States from Central America seeking asylum, and from 2018 to 2023 died under Border Patrol custody from both preventable and completely treatable illnesses like the flu, respiratory, sinus, and bacterial infections, and pneumonia.
