Get ready for an intense evening of thought-provoking conversations about life, death, and everything in between at the Death Cafe.

Although the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (DTES) is an area that experiences many sudden and unexpected deaths, many of us still have trouble expressing our thoughts and feelings about this taboo subject. This can lead to people feeling isolated at a time when they might most need support.Death Cafes are group-directed discussions, and this event will feature the Death Conversation Game by artist Angela Fama.This event is non-faith-based. The images capture local memorials but do not represent the event's affiliation.
