This week we look at a few medieval connections in Disney's animated film about Dia de Muertos -- "Coco" -- like the allegorical appearance of Dante Alighieri, patron saints of music, and images of Death. We also discuss the recent unveiling of the Mary Wollstonecraft statue in London, making connections between this object of memory and others throughout time, asking ourselves: "What does it mean to remember someone or something?"
