A event on Tuesday 4th July. The event starts at 19:30.
From the 2nd - 9th July, St Albans Church Bristol will be hosting an exhibition by artist - Chaja Verkerk, on the theme of Loss.
A multimedia art installation comprising different mediums - textile art, paintings, photography and poetry. Inviting all to explore and engage in different kinds of losses, the process of grief and how we all experience mourning.
Does losing a loved one feel the same as losing yourself? How do you accept losing things you never had?
Are we allowing ourselves to grief about a job rejection or do we only permit ourselves the ability to grieve on big impact events within life such as the loss of a loved one or climate crisis?
Following the cycle of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance, this exhibition hopes to conjure open conversations about Loss in a time where it can sometimes be hard to connect and share with others.
The exhibition will be open daily from 9am to 5pm, 2nd of July till 9th of July 2023.
An open mic will be hosted by Lyra's Slam Poetry qualifier Chaja Verkerk on the 4th of July at 7.30pm. Speakers are invited to share their poetry about grief and loss, not just heavy and sad texts but also about acceptance, moving on and finding grace in the moments in between. Writers are invited to share one piece, with a 3 minute time limit. If you are interested in reading your work, please send an email to [email protected].
