Join multimedia artist Helen Corvus to view, and interact with her Barbie Doll Play Dead Exhibit.

Entertaining, creative and life affirming, the Play Dead exhibition breaks through taboos around talking about death and funerals. The use of Barbie dolls, in Day of the Dead recreations, creates a fun, participatory and thought-provoking way of enabling people to begin the evolving process of thinking and discussing funerals, and presents ideas and options that many may be unfamiliar with, especially in how to 'green' a funeral and make it uniquely individual.

When the barbies are looked at and discussed, take people on a journey of thinking about funerals and, specifically, their own. The idea would be that by travelling along this journey, people breakthrough their own fears and misapprehensions about talking about death in a way that is novel and entertaining rather than morbid and glum. One comment from someone at a previous workshop did was 'I never thought that I would laugh so much talking about death!': A breakthrough indeed.

You can make a 'Clickety-Clack Calavera' as you progress around a special trail where the Barbies are displayed.
