MeMo is a research-based initiative that recognizes the way cultural shifts have created new relations toward death and experiences of finality.

Such change opens the door to more personal, relevant and contemporary experiences of death. The MeMo Cabinet distills research ranging over a wide field into a collection of tools which facilitate a series of intimate narratives voiced by characters struggling in various ways with mortality. Research areas include the recent medicalization and banishment of death & mourning from public experience
