Ep #7.1 It takes a village to be with grief | Worlding Podcast
Description
After her sister got diagnosed with an autoimmune illness and unexpectedly died within half a year Siegmar Zacharias, a Berlin-based performance artist and researcher, embarked on a life’s work to create collective and public places for grieving. In this episode, Siegmar shares her research into collective processes of death and dying as well as expanded notions of grief that arise due to climate change and the current mass sixth-extinction.
Drawing on her performance practice and American neuroscientist Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, Siegmar aims to create spaces where the inter-linking of nervous systems can become sensible and where we can build joyful futures that incorporate the necessary capacity to grieve together.
