| Art & Death Workshop 3: Life
after Death ~ 10.00 – 12.30, Thursday 23 May Research Forum South Room, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN |
| This is the third and last of a series of
workshops being held at The Courtauld Institute of Art in
2012-2013 to explore the inter-relationship between art and
death. These workshops have arisen from an informal group of
doctoral students with shared interests in funerary
monuments. This third workshop will focus on representations
of the perceived fate of the body and soul after death, as
well as the continuation of a relationship (if only in
memory) between the living and the dead, and will examine
how this might vary for a community, a family and an
individual. Open to all, free admission. No booking is
