Artists Yara + Davina bring Arrivals + Departures to the Brighton Festival in May 2021. It's a series of events and public art to explore birth, death and the journey in between.

There's an arrivals & departures board in Pavilion Gardens from 30th April - 8th May where you can contribute a name of someone who has been born or died, as well as online discussions around birth, death and grief.
