Grief Floats is a protest, an honouring, a remembering.
It is a long term project which will offer ways of reconnecting the mind and body during times of grief through workshops, discussions and performances.
Grief Floats is a gentle protest, an act of remembering, and an annual communal reflection on all we have lost and continue to lose, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the North Sea.
Grief Floats 2025
Following its premiere in 2023 and second outing in 2024, we’re returning to the North Sea, to grieve and reflect together.
Grief Floats has been reimagined this year, given our global context, and continued demand for a more humane and empathetic world.
