“In her talk, Sarah will consider how we relate to our own grief both in thought and body, and how this can change over time. She’ll introduce us to the concept of how grief can be manifested in the body, and how working our grief through the body can be beneficial. Her session is designed to open up this potentially new territory and to help us think about grief in different – and perhaps unexpected – ways.”

“In this free talk, Moth will share some of their key projects from the past seven years which investigate the contribution that design can make to end of life experiences. There will be a Q&A and discussion around core themes such as the symbols of death; still life (the collection and curation of things); and how hope is not a plan (digital legacy and end of life choices). They’ll also consider how food and funeral feasting can positively contribute to grief and mourning.”
