About Hayley West & Annie Morabito

Hayley West has co-hosted Death Cafes since 2014 in the Blue Mountains, Canberra and Senegal. She is an artist, Death Literacy Advocate, member of the Natural Death Advocacy Network and on the board of the Castlemaine Cemetery Trust.

Her practice spans over 15 years of research, exhibitions and international residencies.
