One Big Bag (2021)

In anticipation of Every Ocean Hughes's lecture on Monday, February 27, join us for a special screening of One Big Bag (2021), a forty-minute video that uses a mobile corpse kit—a bag filled with everyday objects that death doulas carry to care for the newly dead. With a matter-of-fact demeanor and intense physicality, the performer guides the viewer into the largely uncharted waters of corpse care—practical, political, and spiritual.
