A worldwide, volunteer-based phenomenon, Death Cafe encourages people to share food, drink, and small-group conversation about death and dying in a comfortable setting free of agenda or ideology. Hosted by Death Cafe organizer Lizzy Miles, this event coincides with an exhibition of work by artist Barbara Hammer, who was an articulate and fierce advocate for end-of-life issues. Participants will be invited to view the exhibition, Barbara Hammer: In This Body, as part of the event.

Please note: this is an open discussion group for guests over 18 years of age and not an educational program or grief support group. Complimentary refreshments will be served.
