In 2024 artist Carla Zimbler was our Little Operations artist. We are thrilled that ‘Beckon’, which Carla developed as part of her Little Operation, is part of a larger work she is presenting at MPavilion in December.

Expiry D8 is a meeting place for liberating conversations and inspiring new attitudes about death-care. We’re inviting the death-curious for two evenings of transformative conversation, connection and art immersion.

At the heart of the event is a speed-dating style experience inspired by Swiss Sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s ‘Cafés Mortels’, where death doulas and industry advocates facilitate conversation table-to-table about end-of-life, contemporary memorialisation, funerary rites and rituals.

Performative interludes will provide moments of pause including the debut of ‘Beckon’—a spirit-honouring sonic installation by artists Carla Zimbler and Tilman Robinson, illuminated by bedside lamps from deceased estates.

This intimate event has limited capacity, so if you’re interested in participating, please click the booking link to secure your spot.
