About
Mortal: a good death – screening and discussion
Screening of three experimental animated films, followed by a conversation.
We’ll begin with a screening of three experimental animated films, by artists Ben Faircloth, Mariana Leal, and Eilidh Nicoll, that explore our relationship with death, taking inspiration from the Death Positive Movement, commissioned for Animate’s Mortal project.
Followed by a conversation exploring how death and dying can be rethought and approached, how end of life care and how funerary practices are being reframed, with speakers, Dr Glenys Caswell, a social researcher, funeral director Beccy Edgar, willow coffin weaver Abi Griffin. Hosted by Gary Thomas, Director, Animate Projects.
