Dying.dialogues invites participants to share and reflect on design practice as it relates to the process of end of life.
Nikki Salkeld and Ashley Rudolph are both Senior Lecturers on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at Falmouth University, and make up MOTH. MOTH is a research project, which through the discipline of Graphic Design, helps with the unhiding of death. It aims to facilitate problem solving by making ‘tools’ to encourage dialogue about mortality, helping us to find perspective and turning death from something we fear into something we might learn from. |
