Subtexts: Ritual/Extinction: The future of death

A discussion between Matt Lutton, Kimba Griffith, Angus Hervey and Paul Komesaroff. That which does not kill us, makes us stronger. Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. Live forever, or die trying. Death is ubiquitous and universal – but as we move through life, facing the mortality of others and ourselves, we each experience this truth uniquely. How does death unwittingly colour our lives – and, when brought to our attention, do we embrace or ignore it? Are we inspired to create art, challenge current medical boundaries, consider long-standing traditions… or does it terrify us into silence? With advances in science and technology, death may even be on its way to becoming just another curable symptom of ageing. If death becomes less than inevitable, what might we finally discover about its meaning to us as individuals and cultures? And what new rituals or approaches to death are already being found in an increasingly secular age? Join us to explore attitudes towards the future of death – from philosophical, medical and artistic perspectives.
