Six artists respond to the Grief Survey. An exhibition with daily talks and workshops.

In 2025, we were commissioned by the University of York’s Philosophy Department to produce a collection of images to raise awareness of their Grief Survey: a rich, searchable database of first-person testimonies of grief gathered through an online qualitative survey. You can see the work we created here.

Since then, the university has asked us to commission five other artists to produce work inspired by the Grief Survey. Each artist - all Projecting Grief sitters - were given a selection of quotations taken from the survey and asked to respond to them in whatever medium they choose.

The work created will be exhibited during Dying Matters Week at Thin Ice Press in York. We will also be hosting a free creative workshop with embroidery and textile artist Hayley Mills-Styles on Wednesday 6 May and a talk for invited guests. See links below to join.

Please join us for drinks and nibbles at our opening event from 3-5pm on Sunday 3 May.

Free to view during our opening hours.
