​About.

​The "Before I Die" project reimagines the ways the walls of our cities can help us grapple with death and meaning as a community today. Candy Chang, artist and urban planner, created the first ‘Before I Die’ wall on an abandoned house in New Orleans after the death of someone she loved. A ‘Before I Die’ wall is to be built and held outside OCAD University as part of The Death and Dying Series within the DesignTO Festival in January 2019.

Background.

DesignTO (formerly Toronto Design Offsite Festival) is featuring The Death and Dying Series, which explores the theme of end of life through the lens of design and art. Through participatory and observational experiences, the Series invites you to think about your relationship with death and dying as an individual, a member of a family and social network and as a human being in society. The ‘Death and Dying’ series is a collaboration between OCAD University’s Design for Health graduate program and TABOO Health.
