This symposium explores “Death and Art.” By examining how death reveals the reality and potential of life, it considers moments when alternative ways of living emerge and past memories intersect with future expectations. The program includes an exhibition by Japanese painter Kyoko Nakamura, three talks, and two commentaries, opening a space to reflect on “The Body in Death / The Body in Non-existence.”
