Dying.dialogues invites participants to share and reflect on design practice as it relates to end of life and grief – whether these be speculative exploratory works, community engagements, or interventions for specific groups or circumstances. The symposium will enable dialogue across multiple stakeholders, including – designers, artists, scholars, health care practitioners and the wider public. These dialogues are an opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives and participate in open conversations about fragility, death, dying, loss, grief, and design.
