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 offer of a moment of communal reflection on all we have lost and are losing, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the North Sea.
Grief Floats will return to King Edwards Bay, Summer 2024.
