100 Ways To Say Goodbye
A project about the collective power of ritual in the community exploring different ways to say Goodbye.
The Brass Bathtub Company, in collaboration with associate artist Sarah Delmontè, champions arts and creativity as a way to come together and celebrate communities, places and people that are no longer with us.
“Artists have had a relationship with funerals for millennia and this dynamic needs to be fostered so that these crucial end-of-life rituals are opened up.”
Sarah Delmonté
As part of 100 Ways to Say Goodbye, the Brass Bathtub devised an outdoor show in the community with live music, poetry and song on Tide Mills Beach, Newhaven.
