Better Off Said: Eulogies for the Living and the Dead
At one time or another, we all find there was something we wish we’d said aloud, someone out there in the world waiting to hear an important message, a piece of history we feel our voice could have improved. Better Off Said offers the opportunity to find closure and sing truth from the rooftops before it’s too late. Four guests will speak to the phrase ‘The words I wish I’d said’, and a special guest will deliver a Living Eulogy to someone or something still of this earth, to celebrate the best in our lives while we’re here to hear it. From members of the team behind international literary phenomenon Women of Letters, Better Off Said is a spoken-word art salon celebrating words, stories and human experiences.
Created by Marieke Hardy and Emilie Zoey Baker and featuring Antoinette Lattouf, Hannie Rayson, Brian Nankervis, Shokoofeh Azar, and more.
