In many settings the death of a person has been commemorated by the lighting of a candle. However in many health care settings this ritual is increasingly restricted for safety reasons. When a death can no longer be commemorated by an established ritual, a void is left for friends, relatives and those working in end-of-life care. This competition invites students of Karolinska Institutet and Konstfack to design an appropriate ritual to commemorate the occasion of death in a health care setting.
The winning entrant or entrants will be announced and awarded twenty thousand Swedish kronor, at the judge's discretion at the Swedish National Conference in Palliative Care in March.
Full details, including background information see the posters or visit www.designingtime.se. All proposals should be submitted in both hard and digital form at Konstfack reception by February 20, 2012.
