The Art Rise Collective is a creative community that fosters artistic exploration and collaboration between artists with and without disabilities. From January to May 2025, this group came together to explore the theme of "Existential Explorations.”

Hold Over Fires invites you to sit with grief - ecological, personal and collective - as it smolders beneath the surface, awaiting a spark. Centered in the intimate realities of fire and loss, this immersive space calls you to move, touch, and reflect.

In this collaboration between Radical Care and the Death Conversation Game, we delved into questions that often remain unspoken, fostering a collective exploration of vulnerability, creativity, and connection while talking about death through art making.
