There is so much grief in today's state of the world. But how much time and space do we really dedicate to mourning? With whom do we share our tears, and who is deemed unworthy of being mourned by a government or society? Why can we grieve for our Swiss neighbors but not for the people in Palestine? Why do we lack the rituals, spaces, and acceptance to mourn the loss of homeland, dreams,or connection?

Grief is not just about being sad; it is a profoundly political act—and, at the same time, deeply vulnerable. In this workshop, we explore the role grief holds in our social movements and communities. We trace the paths our grief takes, the places and people it connects to. Through mapping individual and collective grieving practices and spaces, we aim to uncover patterns and insights about the current state of the world and our roles within it. We look at grief in connection to Palestine, protests, political organizing, and the possibilities that offers for creating intimacy and change.
