It was a wonderful experience facilitating a Death Cafe at The Brink in Liverpool. This was for DaDa Fest a festival focused on Deaf and Disability Arts.


The Brink is an alcohol free community cafe. This light and homely setting was perfect for the Death Cafe.
 
About 25 people joined the lively conversation. Many were from DaDa Fest, including a several of there staff and organisers. 
 
Several attendees were involved in working creatively with death, including filmmakers and those supporting people dying and those close to them.

The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living

Damien Hirst has produced a significant amount of art focused on death, but this is perhaps his most famous piece. It consists of a 14 foot Tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde.

I've seen this in a gallery and it is an arresting piece. But the thing that interests me most is the title. Is it physically impossible to for us to imagine death? I don't know!

Jimmy's patents were buried together in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin in an unmarked grave. Phyllis Garland was buried there in the 1950s and Tom Molloy was buried there in the 1980s.

Jimmy was upset to discover that they had no headstone when he visited the cemetery. These photos show the process of us commissioning a headstone which today stands in Dublin.
