Exhibit on Cultural Practices at End-of-Life Sept. 10-Feb. 25

Walking Each Other Home: Cultural Practices at End of Life

An exhibit at the Arizona State Museum

September 10, 2022 – February 25, 2023

At once solo and communal, death, dying, mourning, and honoring are part of the circle of life. What makes this universal experience unique are the cultural practices, values, and beliefs that communities and families hold. These include practices, traditions, adages, and rituals that address end-of-life planning and preparation, loss, grief, and how we memorialize those who have passed on. Looking closely at them can help us understand both ourselves and one another, and bring dignity to an event we will all, at some point, experience.

This exhibit shares stories and traditions that were documented as part of the our End of Life: Continuum project supported by the Arizona End of Life Care Partnership with funds from the David and Lura Lovell Foundation.

Who We Are

The Southwest Folklife Alliance is an affiliate non-profit organization of the University of Arizona, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. We are the designated Folk Arts Partner of the Arizona Commission on the Arts with the support of the National Endowment of the Arts.

Our Mission: We build more equitable and vibrant communities by celebrating the everyday expressions of culture, heritage, and diversity rooted in the Greater Southwest and U.S. Mexico Border Corridor. Nationally, we amplify models and methods of meaningful cultural work that center traditional knowledge, social equity, and collaboration.

Folklife: Everyday things people make, say, or do with shared meaning in small groups.
