🌼💀 Join us for Día de Mu***os – Day of the Dead!

Día de Mu***os is one of Mexico's most meaningful traditions, a time to remember and honour our loved ones who are no longer with us.

This year, thanks to an invitation from Dudley Park Cemetery, LASSA, in collaboration with Colectivo MexiCAN, will be preparing a community altar to share this beautiful Mexican tradition with the wider South Australian community.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Día de Mu***os, discover the meaning behind the traditional altar, and bring a photograph of a loved one you would like to remember. 🧡

Throughout the event, you can also enjoy:

🎨 Face painting – Traditional Mexican skull designs by Love Birdy Body Art.

🥐 Pan de Mu**to – Masa Bakery will be joining us with a selection of traditional Mexican breads available for purchase.

☕ Warm drinks – Provided by Dudley Park Cemetery.

📅 Sunday, 1 November 2026
🕙 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
📍 Dudley Park Cemetery, Exeter Terrace, Dudley Park

We warmly invite the Latin American community, our Australian friends, and everyone interested in learning more about Mexican culture to join us.

Come and experience a little piece of Mexico in Adelaide!

Knowing your rights and where to turn for support can make a difference.

We welcomed Women’s Legal Service SA to LASSA for a community information session about the legal and non-legal support available to women and how to access it.

For women navigating an unfamiliar system, knowing which service to contact is an important first step. Sessions like this are part of LASSA’s work to bring information closer to our community and build connections with services that can help.

Thank you to the WLSSA team for sharing their knowledge, and to everyone who joined us. 💜

Books can bring us together and open conversations that matter.

We gathered at Page & Turner for the launch of Ni mujer ni ciudadana by Deyanira López Arévalo, sharing conversations about racism, gender and social justice.

It was an afternoon to recognise Deyanira’s work and reflect on the important issues her book explores. We closed the gathering with a lovely performance of Ecuadorian music.

Deyanira is one of the many migrants bringing knowledge, talent and valuable perspectives to Australia. At LASSA, we’re proud to create spaces where these contributions can be shared and recognised.

Congratulations, Deyanira! Thank you for letting us be part of this special moment. Thank you also to Axa and Zuri from the La Última Página Book Club for taking part in the presentation, to Page & Turner for hosting us, and to everyone who joined us.

You can find the book here:

Understanding the challenges families face helps us work towards better support for our community.

We welcomed Andres Munoz from the South Australian Department for Education to LASSA for a consultation session in Spanish about the education system.

Families shared their experiences, concerns and needs when navigating schools in South Australia. It was also an opportunity to ask questions and learn about the support available for their children’s learning and wellbeing.

Thank you, Andres, for listening to our community and sharing your knowledge, and to all the families who contributed to the conversation.
