Yesterday I joined a group of futurist practitioners at MOD. in a day of speculative design on the Future of Death. Watch this space as MOD develop these ideas into their 2025 program. We workshopped a whole lot of cultural practices, what death will look like and feel like by 2080, rituals, kinship and community, end of life care, mourning, dreams, burials and funerary rites, suicide, climate and environment, memorialisation, forever, gamification, the funeral industry and disruption (shout out to Tender Funerals Australia), time, legacy, spirituality, & a good death.
Thanks so much to Kristin Alford, Lisa Bailey, Claudia and Daniel at MOD and our Death Watch group who together navigated sensitive topics and experiences, public and personal into respectful play and design work.
