Memento Mori in NYC - The Art of Japanese Life and Death

What if thinking about death could help us live better? Join us in New York City for a unique two-day cultural event exploring life, death, and the art of living through Japanese traditions, contemporary art, and cross-cultural conversations. Inspired by *Memento Mori* — the reminder that life is finite — this event invites us to look at death not as a taboo, but as an opportunity to celebrate life, deepen our connections, and discover what truly matters. ✨ What to Expect * Art & Exhibition: Discover Japanese perspectives on life, death, and remembrance through art. * Talks & Conversations: Explore how different cultures approach death, grief, and the meaning of life. * Hands-on Workshops: Experience Japanese traditions and creative practices, including calligraphy and mizuhiki crafts. * Unique Experiences: Step inside a Japanese coffin, experience meditation, and explore new ways of thinking about mortality. * Community & Connection: Meet curious minds, artists, death-care professionals, and people who believe that conversations about death belong in everyday life. Whether you're interested in Japanese culture, art, spirituality, wellness, or simply exploring life's big questions, you'll find a welcoming space to connect, reflect, and share ideas. You don't need to be an expert or have all the answers. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind. 📅 November 5–6, 2026 📍 RESOBOX East Village, New York City Come curious. Leave inspired to live.
