DCG X The 3UP Project
As a partner to the main Death Conversation Game, over time, Fama will co-create a second extended Death Conversation Game, sharing question created through working separately with a number of different collaborators. Through each collaboration three new questions relating to how they approach grief, death and dying in tandem with their praxis and the original Death Conversation Game will be created. The new questions are launched through a co-facilitated event unique to each collaboration and will eventually add up to the full new extended deck.

DCG X Radical Care
2024 11 29 - 12 12
For two weeks, Fama and Aaniya Asrani / Radical Care (she/her) invited a collective creative exploration of vulnerability, creativity and connection. As a part of Art Rise’s initiatives at posAbilities, over 60 people gathered at Alternative Gallery (Vancouver BC) through workshops and drop-in hours to participate in this reflective and creative experience that explored the intersection of death and care. Space was provided where folk could come together to reflect on their relationships with death and care. Guided by three new Death Conversation Game questions and the use of clay, paper, chalk, and markers, participants engaged in conversations that were verbal as well as tactile. As stories emerged, hands molded clay and shaped paper into forms that held personal and collective meaning. These creations came together to form a collaborative art installation, a visual and tangible representation of this shared exploration of death and care.
