This will be the first of a series of Cardiff Death
Cafes which will be held on a regular basis in venues across Cardiff.
We will be introducing visitors to the concept,
holding an informal group conversation about Death, before moving on to having
tea and cake and an opportunity to talk one to one to other visitors about the
aspects of the topic you would like to explore.
There will be an art film screening happening in
parallel to the event in an adjacent room, which visitors will be able to sit
and view as they like. As an artist I will be seeking to hold my Death Cafes
with a sensitivity to the nature and atmosphere of the locations in which they
are held and will be using film, art and performance to compliment and support
the central Death Cafe conversation.
I am Sara Annwyl. I'm an artist who usually works with
moving image. I also curate exhibitions of other artists work. My practice revolves
around communication and reciprocity; the transmission and exchange of mood and
thought. It’s about longing for a universe that responds directly to our state
of mind. I'm interested in the brain and the mind. Consciousness and
notions of the soul. Subjectivity and objectivity. Religion and science, or the
spiritual and psychiatric. My work often touches upon the supernatural and
irrational. I am drawn to the concealed and repressed. The
interplay between the seen and the unseen.What is revealed and what remains
hidden or untold. I like to hear people's stories. It grips me when people
open up and reach out to each other. I am increasingly fascinated with
acts of emotional disclosure, and associated notions of dignity or its loss.
