Celebrating Life Cycles

Bardo ∞ Project Community Workshops take place alongside the Bardo ∞ Project art exhibitions in gallery spaces. Recent offerings centered on art making, grief and loss, queer considerations for end-of-life care planning, remembrance, ritual, and healing.
 Advocacy materials on end of life care planning information are made available to the public from Compassion and Choices “Conversation Project” starter kits, Living Will, burial, and Healthcare Proxy forms.” The first iteration was a week-long artist residency at the Grady Alexis Gallery at El Taller Latino in East Harlem in 2018. The free, all ages, drop-in colllage workshops provide beautiful art making materials sourced at Materials for the Arts, and was designed to spark public dialogue about life cycles and what constitutes compassionate end of life care. The community experiences creativity, inspiration and information about an important topic that affects us all. Sharing of stories of loss and community are encouraged and the participants get to keep their art works.
