Expiry D8

Expiry D8 is a meeting place for liberating conversations and inspiring new attitudes about death-care. The death-curious are invited to participate in transformative conversation, connection and art immersion.

At the heart of the event is a speed-dating style experience inspired by Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s ‘Cafés Mortels’, where death doulas and industry advocates facilitate conversation table-to-table about end-of-life, contemporary memorialisation, funerary rites and rituals.

Performative interludes will provide moments of pause including the debut of 'Beckon' – a spirit-honouring sonic installation by artists Carla Zimbler and Tilman Robinson, illuminated by bedside lamps from deceased estates.
