Funded Activity Summary

The Mourning After: Grief, witnessing and mobile media practices. This project aims to understand the role of mobile media in grief rituals as a reflection of our social and cultural lives. Grief is an important cultural practice which is crucial in recovery from loss and developing resilience. As magnified by the pandemic, mobile media rituals—from Instagram memorials to witnessing mass death and online funerals—play a significant role in contemporary grieving processes. Through ethnographic inquiry, social media analysis and creative practice intervention, expected outcomes will include codesigned media-in-grief literacy frameworks, online resources and socially-engaged art exhibition. Benefits for understanding grief-in-media include building public empathy, connection and resilience.
