Online via Zoom Webinar

This panel conversation will examine some of the ways in which design can be used to mediate the topic of death and mortality. Designed objects that prompt conversations about post-death planning and contemporary designs that accommodate traditional Hindu rituals will be framed by intellectual perspectives on death from philosophy and sociology. We will explore how contemporary trends in end-of-life rituals are shifting, especially during the current pandemic.
