Last Words

Join us at Morden Library for a collective performance for library workers/members of the public with a connection to Morden Library. Initiated and held by Katherine Smith in collaboration with Morden Library.

We will be sounding the last words of the dead library books at Morden Library in different ways, creating an embodied and rhythmic experience together to celebrate their lives.

This is one of a series of Last Words performances over 2025-2027, all held in different libraries. Please note the performance will be audio- recorded and a small part of it joined with recordings of the other performances, to sound the last words more widely.

After the performance we will have tea and snacks together.
