Abstract

Material Legacies is a five-year collaboration with The Hospice of St Francis. This research advocates how artistic collaborations with the bereaved create alternative spaces for a person’s physical and digital legacy, developing new approaches to bereavement care using co-design. These collaborations add to the discourse of continuing bonds theory by combining situated design methods, transforming the bereaved’s home into impromptu studios and co-design methods that explore how crafting hybrid artefacts construct a durable biography for the deceased. These durable biographies are activated by combining digital and physical legacies through co-curation and exhibition. The exhibiting of outputs as products of a co-design process creates new forms of discursive knowledge that other hospices can use to further integrate digital and public engagement through the development of research governance that supports transparency, personal choice and collaboration. It was recently disseminated by the Hospice of St Francis at the Hospice UK National Conference: Transforming Palliative Care (2018). The exhibitions were covered by FuneralZone, one of the UK's largest funeral information services, and featured on BBC Three Counties Radio. They ran for three weeks each and were evaluated through surveys that captured perceptions from the local community describing the works as inspiring, interesting, insightful, challenging, moving, thought provoking, peaceful, therapeutic, healthy and refreshing. The exhibitions were funded by Berkhamsted Town Council, Macmillan Grants and the University of Greenwich.
