PARDON OUR DUST…
We’re working on retooling the format for Death Salon so that we can bring more events to more people, and get more deathlings to take an active role in creating Death Salons. Doing this right will take time, so there will not be a Death Salon in 2019. Sign up for our newsletter for updates as soon as they are available.
Welcome to Death Salon. We hold events that bring together intellectuals and independent thinkers engaged in the exploration of our shared mortality by sharing knowledge and art. Death is sanitized and hidden in contemporary culture to the point of becoming a taboo subject. We aim to subvert this death denial by opening up conversations with the public about death and its anthropological, historical, and artistic contributions to culture. In the spirit of the 18th-century salon, our curated intellectual gatherings hosted in cities worldwide.
