Event Timings - Doors: 5.45pm / Film programme: 6.00pm Grieving is a ritual, solitary or communal. We invite you into a space where time is held for grief to be felt with intention and care. With the context of Judith Butler’s theory of grievability, we ask: who is considered grievable in our societies, and who is permitted the space to grieve? A grieving ritual can allow expression and alchemy, and the clarity to name what we mourn, and what we hope to seed.The Landmarks of Memory, dir.
