Gone, But Not Forgotten BY ANNA-RHESA VERSOLA Abundance NC held its sixth annual Death Faire on Oct. 30 to
celebrate and remember the lives of departed loved ones at The Plant on Lorax Lane in Pittsboro. Activities began with sessions of healing through art, music, writing and storytelling. Presenters and moderators included heart2heart, Living Arts Collective, artists Aubrey Griffith-Zill and Bruce Rozeboom, Diali Cissokho and Psalms White, Dori Ann Dupré, Andrea Saccone Snyder and Frank Phoenix. Meals were provided by Copeland Springs Farm & Kitchen and Angelina’s Kitchen. Chatham-based keynote speaker Tamira Cousett offered her perspective of looking at grief through the lens of our ancestors. The all-day event wrapped up with a New Orleans-style funeral parade led by the Bulltown Strutters, an inspiring lineup of poets and an after-party featuring curated house music by BEXXIE. CM
