SUMMARY:The History of Death: Grave robbing\, rituals
LOCATION:Hen & Chicken Bristol
DESCRIPTION:The History of Death: Grave robbing\, rituals\, funeral practic
 es & more\n\nUncover the strange and fascinating history of how humans hav
 e faced\, marked and made sense of death. Followed by Q&A.\n\nWhy do we bu
 ry our dead the way we do? Where did death masks\, mourning rituals and ev
 en grave robbing come from – and what do they tell us about how differen
 t societies have understood mortality? In this talk\, Joan Passey traces t
 he history of death across cultures and centuries\, exploring the rituals
 \, superstitions and practices that have shaped how humans confront the on
 e certainty we all share.\n\nWe'll uncover the dark and surprising history
  of grave robbing and the rise of anatomy science\, the evolution of funer
 al rites and mourning customs\, and the strange tradition of the death mas
 k. Along the way\, we'll ask what these practices reveal about the societi
 es that created them – and what our modern relationship with death still
  owes to the past.\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm - come dow
 n early to grab a good seat!\n\nFollow us on IG @seedtalks\n\nSpeaker Bio:
