The annual Day of the Dead festival in Redbridge encourages community discussions about death, celebrating loved ones and facilitating important conversations about loss.
Martin Solder emphasized that the library's approach has made it easier for people to talk about death, encouraging thousands to engage in meaningful discussions.
The festival features diverse activities such as lantern processions with giant puppets, music, dancing, and art exhibitions, fostering a sense of community and remembrance.
Funded by the Arts Council, the event runs over two days, drawing inspiration from global Day of the Dead festivals, to promote dialogue about grief.
