We are Emily Liddle and Thea Smith Nilsson, two zany chyx on a mission to bring death out of the dark and into the conversation. We bring death to life by hosting engaging and edgy experiences; promoting people who know stuff; and promoting candid and compassionate conversations. Let's talk dying. About #ArtofDying: We had pre-pandemic plans to be on location in May to film a micro-documentary. Sheltering in place (Emily in Austin and Thea in the Bay Area), instead, we dreamed up this virtual art exhibition to bring death to life in a beautiful--and accessible--way. We hope you enjoy the show!
