A nine-day festival celebrating life and death is coming to Leeds this month.
Leeds 2023 is bringing All That Lives, a festival in honour of the Day of the Dead, to the city centre. Kicking-off on October 27 at Leeds Playhouse, the colourful, playful and contemplative festival has been produced by homegrown artist Ellie Harrison. It concludes her 13-year-long acclaimed body of work, The Grief Series, which is in collaboration with Zion Art Studio from Mexico and the people of Yorkshire.
There will also be a new exhibition, Lying in State, at Blank Gallery, located at University Centre Leeds which will feature sculpture and installations and explore how different ‘endings’ in our lives are marked. Artist Ellie began her project as a way to explore her personal experience of loss. It has since taken her all over the world to create a series of moving, funny immersive experiences that delve into the gory and glorious sides of private and public grief in all its manifestations.
