Climate Thanatology. Heidi Hart
This book is a hybrid curatorial research memoir tracing the process of linking music practices for end-of-life care to climate grief through sound, visual art, performance, and participation. This curatorial process and methodology transform grief practices into a source of collective inspiration and criticality in a warming world.
Heidi Hart brings her background as a literary writer, musician, and academic researcher into this hybrid text that reflects the oscillating process of developing a project through material experience, scholarship, and collaboration. From the practice of music thanatology, through musical responses to the body, where harp music responds to heart and breath rates, encouraging anxiety relief and contemplative presence in hospice environments.
