Reclaiming Death is an ongoing curatorial project which began as part of Hyperallergic’s 2023-24 Emily Hall Tremaine Journalism Fellowship for Curators. Beginning with the history of funerary arts and connecting traditional and contemporary practitioners, Reclaiming Death, explores the living legacy of art and artists playing a central role in death practices. In Fall of 2024 the first exhibition took place at Ma's House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Nation with a 2nd exhibition on view for Spring of 2026 at Ma’s House.

The culminating publication is now available for purchase! A rolling open call serves as a platform to consider works for future iterations of the project as well as an archive of BIPOC artists working within themes of end-of-life.
