An exhibition in the centre of Sheffield is holding “Grief Karaoke” this weekend as a new way to help people deal with their bereavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday from 6-9pm, at Bloc Projects on Eyre Lane, people are invited to come along and celebrate their loved ones in a different way, by singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event marks the end of Emily Simpson and Chris Alton\u2019s latest exhibit: \u2018Grief Must Be Love With Nowhere To Go\u2019, which has been hosted in the gallery since March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artists’ Zine also accompanies the project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emily Simpson said: \u201cIt\u2019s a way of celebrating the end of the exhibition, and bringing people together. The events we\u2019ve done as part of this exhibition so far have been small, intimate events; which has been necessary in order to create a safe space, where people feel they\u2019ll have the room to talk about such a difficult subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we wanted to do a \u2018lighter touch\u2019 event like karaoke so we could involve more people, and open up the conversation to other forms of loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The showcase is currently a display of various textiles sewn together and hung on the roof of the gallery, with various quotes embroidered on the fabric, relating to grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The canopy reads: Are you still a parent if you no longer have a child?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to \u2018soften\u2019 the gallery space, make it more like a den. It was important for us to create different ways in which people could engage with the exhibition; so the publication is a space where the more \u2018in depth\u2019 conversations can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunshine Wong, co-director of Bloc Projects, said: \u201cWe all carry some measure of grief in us, so I think it\u2019s important to have moments and spaces where we can dwell on those things, and our hope is to make that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They hope to see lots of people at the event on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said: \u201cKaraoke is something we\u2019re all pretty familiar with, and music can be so evocative of a time, place, or person. We\u2019re inviting people to sing songs that remind them of any form of loss; bereavement, jobs, break ups, climate loss, loss of autonomy etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone is welcome, whether they want to sing, or just cheer people on with a drink from the bar. I\u2019m hoping people are as bad at singing as me!! But it doesn\u2019t really matter – the main thing is about coming together, making our losses public and holding that space for others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
