Death and Grief Care Workshop by doula Staci Bu Shea 

  • Date 06.11.2025
  • Time 18:00 - 21:30
  • Fee € 12 p.p.

In this collaborative workshop, death doula, writer and curator Staci Bu Shea will guide participants through a discussion and activity centred on gently widening our sense of death awareness and grief tending. 

Inspired by the exhibition No Longer Not Yet, the workshop gives special attention to time, perception, and the transformative potential of bearing witness. Our main activity explores qualities of presence and how time and interaction assists to frame our experience of an event of transformation, and will be informed by the collective character of the group. Select works from the exhibition will be referenced as supportive material for our workshop. 

Establishing individual and collective practices for tending to the truth of death and grief enriches our lives in the present while also preparing us for the future. It's valuable to engage these realities throughout one's life and not only when immediately faced with death and grief, so that with each encounter you are inevitably changed while also engaging with what you have already learned.
