What does it mean to die well? And how can community arts practice provide a supportive context for the often taboo subject of death to be explored?
These are among the questions that the Live Die Well artist group (Helen Seiver, Christopher Young and Julieanne Hilbers) has been exploring through projects that facilitate important conversations about the end of life. Live Die Well will be joined in conversation by Deathwalker and celebrant Zenith Virago, whose work focuses on providing support and guidance for the dying and their loved ones.
Facilitated by Peta Murray, whose own practice delves into the complex realm of mortality, this conversation will take an in-depth look at how communities can support each other through illness, death and grief.
