About this Death Cafe

Join us at Small Changes in Inchicore for coffee, cake and an open conversation about death. As at every Death Cafe, there's no agenda, no theme and no speakers: the conversation is led by whoever comes along, and you're just as welcome to listen as to talk.

Each table will have a small ritual centrepiece, a tiny candle and a few touches of colour, and some optional open prompts for anyone who'd like a gentle way in. Use them, or ignore them entirely: where the conversation goes is up to you.

We believe that talking openly about death is really a way of celebrating life, and of learning to love it more fully while we're here.

About Nyx Joy and Delfina Blasi

Delfina Blasi and Nyx Joy host Death Cafe Dublin.

Delfina Blasi is a Uruguayan creative researcher who studied Media, Journalism and Culture at Cardiff University and now works in narrative development for independent cinema. Her interest in death began on screen, reading it as a symbol in film, and grew into a wider curiosity about the rituals, memories and objects through which people mourn and remember. Leading audience conversations at film festivals showed her how much people long to talk about what usually goes unsaid, and she loves making room for those conversations.

Nyx Joy is a multidisciplinary storyteller, digital artist-researcher and MPhil student in International Peace Studies at Trinity College Dublin. An award-winning podcaster with the ASEAN–Australia Strategic Youth Partnership and a fellow of the Women in Strategic Policy programme at the Australian National University, she has long been drawn to the stories that official language leaves out: her undergraduate thesis followed Indigenous women in Greenland whose experiences were buried in official records. Raised between languages and cultures, she hosts these conversations because she believes talking openly about death is really a way of celebrating life, and of learning to love it more fully while we're here.
