Ceremony dedicated to perinatal bereavement

With the annual ceremony dedicated to perinatal bereavement, the City of Geneva once again pays homage to children who died before they could ever be brought into the world. The ritual of contemplation, involving the creation of a temporary work of art comprising 49 chimes, was designed by the artist, Carmen Perrin. This collective secular commemoration will be held on Saturday 29 May 2021 at 11 a.m. in the Saint-Georges Cemetery, in partnership with the Association Kaly. It will take place in accordance with the health recommendations in force, including the mandatory wearing of a mask.
