Grieving is a ritual, solitary or communal. We invite you into a space where time is held for grief to be felt with intention and care. With the context of Judith Butler’s theory of grievability, we ask: who is considered grievable in our societies, and who is permitted the space to grieve? A grieving ritual can allow expression and alchemy, and the clarity to name what we mourn, and what we hope to seed.
There will be a presentation of short experimental films exploring grief and ritual, followed by poetry, herbal tea, and the co-creation of a collective altar to honour our dead. Guests are welcome to bring offerings (incense, flowers, letters, leaves, photographs, art).
Contains scenes of injury, animal cruelty, and flashing images.
This programme is curated by Gamze Şanlı.
