Design + Death: Beyond the Grave | NGV Open House Melbourne

Building on the success of last year’s Six Feet Under program, Beyond the Grave: Design + Death expands its focus beyond cemeteries to explore the intricate relationships between memory, place, and identity in the context of death, culture, commemoration, and urban planning.

This thought-provoking event features the Memorialisation Symposium, where experts, including Sam Holleran from the DeathTech Research Team, will delve into how various spaces shape our understanding of mortality and memory. From historically significant sites to culturally rich locations and urban landscapes, the symposium examines how these environments serve as powerful touchstones for both personal and collective remembrance.

Join us for an enlightening exploration of how urban spaces shape our approach to remembrance and mortality. Bookings are required for this insightful symposium.
