Interwoven: A Dialogue on Death, Culture, and Cloth

Practicalities

You are warmly invited to join an evening of exploring the role of fabric in funerals around the world. This is a moment to connect around the ways different cultures grieve and a chance to share and listen to others’ stories. Inspired by Leuven’s Folded Memory project, this workshop offers a space for intercultural connection around how we approach grief, loss, and seek solace.

What will the event look like?

Opening ritual using fabrics as a shared starting point
Stories and examples of funeral rites from different cultures
Small‑group conversations to exchange experiences and perspectives
Collective reflection to weave together what emerged
Closing ritual to honor the space we created
