Decolonising death 
Exploring a brief history of queer death and deathcare

What bodies matter? What deaths matter? How can we dismantle oppressive structures in the death industry? To explore these and many more questions we have invited Jael de la Luz, a Mexican writer, community organizer, fanzine and collage maker based in London. Participants will be encouraged to share about their own personal relationship with death. Let’s hear parts of each other’s journey, share resources and strengthen our resilience.
