On 29th<\/sup>\u00a0January, Claire Craig<\/a> and Helen Fisher<\/a> presented \u2018The Life Caf\u00e9: Thinking Through Things<\/strong>\u2019 at Dying.Dialogues <\/a>conference. Dying.2021<\/strong> \u2018offers an opportunity to creatively engage in conversation about\u00a0fragility, death, dying, loss, grief\u00a0through the lens of art and design.\u2019 Hosted by Design TO, OCAD University<\/a> and Taboo Health, it was the perfect forum to share this research and open a dialogue about how the objects we own can support meaningful conversations about end of life and loss.<\/p>\n

The use of objects and critical artefacts as a method to enable conversations was presented through a series of Lab4Living projects, starting with Exhibition in a Box<\/a>, through the Life Caf\u00e9<\/a>, Enabling Ongoingness<\/a> and The 100-Year Life<\/a>. Within the context of the 100 year life, a consideration of the role of design at end of life and death is important.\u00a0This enquiry continues funded by Research England (E3<\/a>), interrogating how conversations around care, end of life and grief can be better enabled within the home and how the objects we own can support this.<\/p>\n

Helen and Claire presented a paper and poster to the conference’s audience of artists, designers and clinicians, leading to some lively debate and questions:<\/p>\n

\u2018Fascinating work, thank you for sharing! I\u2019m curious, have you noticed different reactions from people of different backgrounds, cultures, spiritualities, demographics?\u2019\u00a0 <\/em>Dying.Dialogues participant<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Thank you for a great presentation. Have you noticed an observable change in behaviour or policy by care givers as a result of a Life Caf\u00e9?\u2019 <\/em>Dying.Dialogues participant<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
