Conversations on Suicide and Music as Expression of Emotion and Hope — Keskustakirjasto Oodi, Helsinki
Description was written before the event

What beliefs surround suicide, and is it safe to talk about suicidal thoughts? How does music address suicide, and what role can it play in suicide prevention and in expressing grief and hope?

These questions are explored on Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, from 18:00 to 20:15 in Oodi's Maijansali (1st floor). Participants include experts, researchers, and musicians spanning rap, opera, and heavy metal. The event can also be followed via livestream.

The event is open and free. It is organized jointly by MIELI rf, Sorgebandet rf, and Helsinki Central Library Oodi, with support from the Viola Ranin Foundation.
