Re:living Weekend

30 Sep – 2 Oct 2022 granton:hub, Madelvic House, Granton, Edinburgh

The Re:living Weekend is a response to our human need to talk, walk, remember, and make art about the ever-present experiences of death, grief and loss in our lives. Whether we are grieving for a close friend, pet or family member; concerned about the loss of bird, insect or plant habitats and other changes to our climate; affected by war; or managing on-going / one-off life events around relationship, work and/or home loss, coming together with others to focus, share, or simply ‘be’ with our feelings can be supportive.
