The before I die wall toolkit
Before I Die is a project started by artist Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans following her own experience of bereavement.
Over 1,000 Before I Die walls have been created in over 35 languages and over 70 countries, including Kazakhstan, Iraq, Haiti, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Argentina, and South Africa.
Warsaw, Poland
Jerusalem, Israel
Niagara Falls, Canada
In the UK and Ireland boards have appeared in High Wycombe, Liverpool, Hebden Bridge, Leeds, London, Peterborough, Leamington Spa, Wolverhampton, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Building your own board
Choosing a site Dying Matters is a public engagement event so
anywhere which has a high public footfall is ideal - market places, city squares etc.
Facilitation
You may want to make sure that your board is accessible. We would recommend a board that is at adult head height. Standing on stools, a step ladder or a bicycle would require a risk assessment!
