Created in conjunction with ASU’s online Death and Photography class, "Memento Mori III" is a biennial group exhibition featuring artwork on the theme of mortality. We live in a death-denying culture, but while the western philosophy around death has been buried into social obscurity, the prevalence of serious contemporary artwork about death has been expanding.

"Memento mori" is a Latin phrase which translates to “remember you must die", and has served historically as a sentiment which affirms that facing the certainty of death has the perhaps unexpected effect of embracing life. 

This exhibition will showcase photo-based works from contemporary artists, each approaching the theme of death in their own unique way, spanning from literal to metaphorical, from deeply personal to abstract cultural interpretations. 

Cost: FREE
Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM
