What are you haunted by? How do we honour the death of relationships? Have you ever been ghosted? What do you do with the grief that lives in your body? How can we collectively mark a time of transformation, change, and transition?

About the Series

Waking Death: Arts & Culture Event Series is a program of events that focus on death and related themes, bringing together audiences, artists, and guest speakers. The arts have an important role to play in supporting people’s communion with death and this series offers to create a space in which participating artists can share work with the Lethbridge community that reflects on our shared mortality, the nature of impermanence and grief, and the things that haunt us.
