Join ABE Collective speakers Angela Fama and Tracy Chalmers in Friday morning's “Exploring Assisted Dying: A Facilitated Conversation using the Death Conversation Game.

Dying.dialogues 2026 is a two-day symposium that invites reflection and exchange on design, art, and end-of-life experience. Bringing together designers, artists, scholars, health care practitioners, and the wider public, the event creates space for dialogue around death, dying, loss, and grief, and explores the ways creative practice can shape how we engage with these universal experiences.

Through a range of presentations, discussions, and participatory formats, Dying.dialogues 2026 examines how design can support conversations about mortality, memory, and care, including speculative and exploratory works, community-based interventions, and research collaborations.

As part of the Dying.series and presented during the DesignTO Festival, Dying.dialogues 2026 continues the collective effort to foster death literacy and to reimagine our relationship with dying. The symposium invites audiences to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and to participate in open, cross-disciplinary conversations about what truly matters at the end of life.
