“Lanterns of Extinction” is a free, all ages, eco-grief lantern procession taking place on Unceded Stz'uminus Territories (Ladysmith, BC) November 1st 2025.
Noting the many cultures that during this darker time of year, pay tribute to their human and ancestral dead, “Lanterns Of Extinction” invites us to expand our sphere of mourning to include the non-human, ecological world, currently experiencing massive die-offs due to human activity.
The procession will include homemade eco-themed lanterns as well as a number of large scale lantern puppets of bioregional animal, plant, or insect species that are near extinction or have recently gone extinct. Whether you are a maker, a mourner, or simply someone feeling the weight of this moment in our planetary story, we welcome you to join us.
Please help spread the word, and stay tuned for updates and a future invite to a free community art jam where YOU can make your own recycled eco-themed lantern to bring to the event.
