For Grief Awareness Week 2025 (2nd - 8th December) artist Lowri Evans has reimagined her project, Fragile Handle With Care, to explore the reasons why grief can be messy, ambivalent and uncomfortable. Celebrating mistakes, accommodating agonies and giving voice to pain, you're invited to a special Smashing Ceremony.
Friday 5th December
3pm - 4:30pm
Crosby Library - Echalaz Room
Bring an item that holds significance for you in a cathartic ritual, smashing the item against the wall to honour all that we do to hold ourselves, and others, together when we have loved and lost. This is an act of holding up the pieces, not brushing them under the carpet, finding beauty in mistakes, embracing what's broken or lost, and letting it go.
When you book your place, please let us know what item you'll be bringing to smash so we can discuss with you!
Date & time
Friday, 5 December, 2025 from 3pm until 4:30pm
