Space for Grief: Exploring Loss and Connection Through Immersive Art

Space for Grief returns to Evergreen Brick Works for its third year, transforming the Young Centre into an immersive journey through memory, emotion, and connection. This internationally-recognized public art installation invites visitors of all ages to explore how grief can shape our lives, our relationships, our policies, built environment, and our shared future.

The installation was created by Method Collective, whose founders are artists Ziyan Hossain, Calla Lee, and FHASS’s own Fran Quintero Rawlings.

As part of the installation, visitors can also explore the Museum of Grief, which shares the historical and contemporary impacts of grief, and the Bird Garden, a reflective environment where stories and memories are shared and honoured.

Through storytelling, sensory design, and shared reflection, the experience blends science, culture, and lived experience into spaces for learning, contemplation, and participation. This year’s edition expands with special programming including cross-sector conversations, film screenings, live soundscapes, and more.

Opening as part of the Good Mourning Festival (Nov 1–2), this year’s edition expands with cross-sector conversations,  live soundscapes, and more. Visitors will move through interactive installations including the Museum of Grief and the Memory Garden, each inviting reflection on how grief shapes our lives, relationships, and shared futures.

The installation runs November 1–11, 2025, and is free and open to the public. The space is designed to be welcoming and accessible, offering a place to pause, connect, and reflect together as a community.

Since 2018, Space for Grief has been rooted in a simple belief: that our public spaces should make room for grief and healing across every scale, from the personal to the systemic.

We invite you to come, pause, write, listen, and gather to make space for what we carry, and for what we hope to grow next.
