“All stories have an end, and at the end, all we have are stories. But for many at the end of life, these stories never leave the palliative care unit. That is where blind professional storyteller Kim Kilpatrick and mixed media artist Rachel Gray come in. As disabled artists, Kim and Rachel are uniquely attuned to the importance of bringing these stories to light in an accessible, multi-sensory way. To kick of National Palliative Care Week 2025, Kim and Rachel will share their film project, Island of Listeners.” - Lexa Frail
