SUMMARY:Reclaiming Death - Art | Ritual | Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Ma’s House is pleased to present Reclaiming Death — Art | Ritual | Advocacy\, a group exhibition featuring 20 artists expressing personal and cultural connections to end-of-life practices. The exhibition will run from Sunday\, February 22—Sunday\, May 16\, 2026. \nDeath is one of life’s few universal experiences. As long as people are born\, people will die. And as long as people have died\, artists have played an integral role in creating cultural death practices. Our collective relationship to death and dying is inextricably tied to our humanity and mending that relationship directly impacts all we experience in life. “Reclaiming Death” is an ongoing pursuit of this mending which requires the communal effort of every participating artist and their unique approach to deathwork. \nNow in its 2nd iteration\, “Reclaiming Death” began as a research project by artist\, death doula\, and Ma’s House Director of Curation\, Brianna L. Hernández as part of Hyperallergic’s Emily Hall Tremaine Journalism Fellowship for Curators. The series of online articles grew into an in-person exhibition at Ma’s House in 2024\, and most recently hosted an open call for the 2nd show and a printed publication\, available online and in-gallery.
