Rethinking how we hold space for grief and loss. | Michèle Pearson Clarke | TEDxPortofSpain

Michele Pearson Clarke ask us two simple, yet compelling questions: Whose space will you hold grief for? How will you hold space for your grief? In this talk, she asks us to rethink how we support those in our community who are coping with death, grief or loss. She takes the listener on a journey where she describes how she managed the loss of her own mother and the surprising things she learned in the experience. In this thoughtful talk, Michele asks to take look at something that happens every day and rethink it.
Through her art, Michèle Pearson Clarke evokes thoughtful considerations of the personal and political. Her work deals largely with the everyday moments of ambiguity, melancholy and discomfort present in narratives related to longing and loss. By using archival, performative and process-oriented strategies, she investigates the personal and political possibilities afforded by sharing these experiences and the negative emotions that they produce like disappointment, loneliness, shame and grief. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
