On death: What will you make of me?
Gravestones, tombs and memorial sculptures have always been an important part of remembering the dead. But why do we need these objects or places? And should we be involved in their planning before our death? Dr Jim Harris will discuss the various material ways people have been remembered throughout history. He will also explore new trends in death ritual, such as roadside altars and ‘white bikes,’ forming our visual landscape today.
