A run of 5 death cafe and lantern making sessions to creatively explore themes around death and dying. Part of Festivals of the Dead project

This is a series of 5 workshops, please try to attend all 5 to enable creation of lanterns before the festival events. Workshop dates are: 25th Sept; 2nd October, 16th October, 23rd October and 6th November. All are 10am-12.

The University of Bradford, Cecil Green Arts and Bradford Death Cafes are coming together to create Festivals of the Dead. Inspired by what happens around the world and through time, this project is about making spaces to talk and listen to the experience of others around death and related themes and to respond creatively to those conversations. The talking and listening will take place in death cafe circles and the creative response will be in the form of making memorial willow lanterns.

There are 2 Festivals of the Dead events linked to the project in the form of lantern parades in Lister Park on 30th October and a memorial parade in Northcliffe on Novemebr 14th.

This is a free event but donations are welcome for materails used.

The project is funded by Arts Council England.

Cecil Green Arts is supported by Bradford Council.
