Grief is something every community carries — but how we carry it varies. How we mourn, how we sit with dying, which words we reach for across faith lines: these are not shared instincts. They are learned, and too rarely shared.

Rites of Us is a two-day public festival bringing Singapore’s communities into the same space — to understand each other’s practices, tell stories of loss across traditions, and leave a little more prepared to care for one another.
