The Final Journey, an exploration of death and dying through art
15 November 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 19 November 2025 @ 4:00 pm
How to have “a good death” is a topic which more and more people find important nowadays. Fuelled by the discussion about assisted dying, customised funerals, natural burials and the question ‘what happens after’, 20 people worked for almost a year to create this 5 day event, which includes an art exhibition, showing their take on
“The Final Journey”;
a poetry exhibition about grief, death and dying;
a poetry workshop;
talks
and the opportunity to have a go at painting a coffin.
