DCG X The 3UP Project

I’m working separately with 21 collaborators to each create three new question cards relating to how they/we approach death and dying in tandem with their life/praxis and the DEATH CONVERSATION GAME. Originating as add-ons for the Death Conversation Game, these new question cards will, over time, culminate to form a second Death Conversation Game X The 3UP Project. For each 3UP collaboration, the new question cards will be launched through an associated event created by the collaborator and myself. As DCG X The 3UP Project builds, the three new question cards will be accessible as add-on sets at the event, and HERE.

PAST EVENTS

DCG X Radical Care
2024 11 29 - 12 12

Alternatives Gallery, Vancouver BC

This is the inaugural DCG X The 3UP Project. As a part of ART RISE’s initiatives at posAbilities, in December 2024, over 60 people gathered to participate in a reflective and creative experience that explored the intersection of death and care. For two weeks, interdisciplinary artists Aaniya Asrani/RADICAL CARE and I facilitated delving into some questions that often remain unspoken, inviting a collective exploration of vulnerability, creativity, and connection. A space was provided where strangers and friends could come together to reflect on their relationships with death and care. Guided by the use of clay, paper, and the Death Conversation Game, participants engaged in conversations that were verbal and tactile. As stories emerged, hands molded clay and shaped paper into forms that held personal and collective meaning. These creations came together to form a collaborative art installation, a visual and tangible representation of our shared exploration of death and care.

AANIYA ASRANI
is an interdisciplinary artist, graphic designer, and visual storyteller from Bangalore, India. She graduated from Srishti Institute of Art, Design, and Technology with distinction in Visual Communication (2014) and Emily Carr University with a Master of Fine Arts degree (2019), where she was also sessional faculty from 2019-2023.
