Together with photographer and filmmaker Wendy Pye, I co-funded Luna Arts, an art organisation specialising in facilitating activities and art events for wellbeing.
We have recently been awarded a project grant from the Arts Council England to develop our organisation and to creatively explore the cultural dimensions of death. Our project examines contemporary beliefs, attitudes, and rituals surrounding funerals, life ceremonies, and memorialisation, while creating a supportive creative space to break down barriers and encourage open conversations about death and dying. We will be working with two hospices and several communities group. We have just completed the first part of our project , the Making Space Residency: Let’s Talk about Death: A Creative Exploration at Fabrica which contained 7 workshops, reflective practice and Death Salon.
