Event overview
An exhibition with a tearoom that explores the cultural connotations of death and human imaginations of the afterlife
Within the medical context, death is often defined as the permanent cessation of all vital functions that sustain a living organism and implicates the hereafter nothingness. By the time we are gone, however, scrutinises the convoluted cultural connotations of this biological condition in the contemporary society. Through experiments with various media, the artists investigate how death relates to the conception of ultimate ending, evokes human or religious imagination of afterlife, and gets entangled with the discourses of post-colonialism.

Death Cafe is a long-running model that provides its participants with a safe space to discuss death.
