Art talk: Grief gives power to art and to science
Art talk about 'Shroud' on Bora Bora

My cigarettes say with no shame in life that I will be killed in a little while, in a moment. With EU guarantee. So that's why I have a special interest in tonight's art talk on Bora Bora's stage. It's about grief, and it's a prelude to 'Shroud', which you must see in the month of March 2025 at Bora Bora. A performance created by Andreas Constantinou.

It's not a popular topic to talk about, in general. Grief. Have you also experienced grief? Tone: How did your interest in grief as a theme in your art begin? And you? Why become a professor in grief? Grief is private. But it is also personal. And in the personal lies a power that can become art and science. The artist Andreas and the professor Dorthe use that power in their work. One with analysis and data, the other with practice and body. Man in the audience: You both talk about 'research', each with your own method, but I hear you arrive at roughly the same result. Can you talk about how you do 'research' in relation to grief? Dorthe: - As a scientist, I talk to people who have experienced grief. I collect data, I analyze and I create viewpoints that shed light on the grief. We can see that rituals are needed. We gather in a church, or make a grave site, we eat some good food on the anniversary of someone's death, we do many different things. There are no right ways to deal with grief. Everyone chooses his own method. With the freedom of expression on X, there are endless ways to experience grief. Many videos of cruelty and brutality, pictures from everyday life. Oppressed people share depictions of death and destruction with each other - to tell someone. People die online and we get sad. We experience grief even if the dead person is a thousand kilometers away. Woman in the audience: Can you give any advice on how to deal with grief over long distances? When you're online, you often sit alone, and don't have anyone to share your sorrow with? There were many more questions and answers at the art talk than I can remember. So you must go and experience the 'Shroud' and find answers to your own questions. But basically the question is: "Is it best for me to close my throat and keep the grief down? Or should I cry and talk about the grief to the people around me?" Thanks for art talk on Bora Bora. It was a good experience, for me and my grief.Crying women and "move on"
