Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die

LA PETITE MORT: NADINE CHEMALI IS GOING TO DIE
Every second week on MHIGTD we explore a conversation about mortality and survival with human beings who have skin in the game. And today we're asking the question: How do you show up as an activist in a time of global crisis when you’re struggling with your own personal grief?  
Nadine Chemali is a writer and social worker who was forced to face this impossible scenario when her beloved father fell ill two months ago.
Nadine came to Australia as a child, fleeing war torn Beirut. She is dedicated to community, facilitating discussions on displacement, representation, sexuality and community care, discourse she feels was missing from her own upbringing in Australia. Nadine has worked extensively in the settlement and justice sectors, she was the host of SBS Audio podcast, Erotic Stories and has spoken at events like Melbourne Writers Festival. Nadine is also Shop Dad of Thrillhouse Tattoo in Meanjin.

What is Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die?

Hello, my name is Marieke Hardy and I’m Going To Die. But that’s ok, because so are you. And so is everybody you know, including - and trust me, I’m as conflicted about this as you are - your dog. It’s confronting, especially in the brutal world we’re all doing our best to survive, but I believe there’s something important about this universal experience we’re all having together that worth interrogating. Join me as I speak to a variety of interesting, beautiful, imperfect humans (who are definitely going to die) and help them plan their dream funerals as they reflect on their lives, their longings, and how best to navigate this intense ride.
