PAUSE x CAAM
Join PAUSE and other folks from our LA deathcare community for a private tour of CAAM ~ focused on exploring the connections between art, justice, grief, and death. During this engagement, attendees will:
- Participate in a CAAM Gallery Guide led tour of Repossessions & Ode to ‘Dena: Black Artistic Legacies of Altadena
- Spend the afternoon outdoors for a brown-bag lunch gathering in the Expo Park rose garden
- Participate in an interactive, customized art-making workshop: This workshop is an invitation to tend to grief through visual storytelling. Using stop-motion animation, we’ll build short animated stories that reflect on endings, memory, care, and transformation. The exhibitions Repossessions and Ode to ’Dena remind us that memory can be remade, and that place, ancestry, and creativity all hold power in the face of loss. Whether you are here for personal reflection or thinking of ways to adapt this practice in your work with others, the process is the same: slow down, notice what emerges, and let movement guide meaning.
Please join us if you identify with end-of-life, death, and grief work in any capacity - whether you’re a death doula, mental health professional, healthcare professional, creative, author, faith leader, funeral professional, or otherwise!
Register today! There is limited space for attendees as we’re hosting this with the intention of making it an intimate gathering.
