In Memoriam. (360G-Wellcome-104095_Z_14_Z)

£5,000

We propose a Public Event in Edinburgh on Saturday 8th March. This day to be about the importance of Body Donation to science in Scotland, but also to promote the benefits to society of a greater openness around the subject of death and dying. The event will include, and open with, a talk by Prof Sue Black of the University of Dundee on the subject of Body Donation, and will include workshops on story-telling and creative writing, on the body in art and sculpture, on the historical perspectives of death in Scotland, and will culminate in a lecture by Richard Holloway FRSE. It will be an all-day event with some events set up for the whole day, and some hour-long workshops. It is intended that we invite MSPs, relevant civil servants, and HM Inspector of Anatomy to attend, and the event will be open to the general public. The running of the workshops and installations will include the help of Prof Kirsty Gunn and Prof Calum Colvin, both joint winners of the Stephen Fry Award.
