Grief Offerings: (End of) Life Wishes is an audio and transcribed conversation between Emilia Beatriz, Etzali Hernández and Sandra Alland. The artists use the theme of 'end of life wishes' as a starting point to share ways we want to care, mourn, live and resist in the current climate, with a focus on mental health and disability justice.

The chat is interspersed with poems as ‘grief offerings’ by Scotland-based artists Nat Raha, Jeda Pearl and Andrés N. Ordorica. The sound was mixed and mastered by Claude Nouk.

Grief Offerings was commissioned by Edinburgh’s Rhubaba Gallery & Studios, as part of Care, Resistance… Joy!. Artists were invited to consider structures of care, power and community whilst centring joyful acts of resistance and methods of living well.

Content notes for the conversation include death, dying, eugenics, suicide, assisted suicide, racism, ableism, classism and institutionalisation.
