Abstract
In this essay, the author works with stories and artwork generated in a collective biography workshop about death. The project was a methodological experiment to think about what is made possible when memory-stories are brought back to the body through art-making and autoethnographic writing. The people who participated in the workshop, including the author, were art therapists working in end-of-life and palliative care. This essay is an entanglement of stories, new materialist and post-humanist theory, art and death, and asks: what happens when stories become art become stories?
