RITE explores, among other things, how tailored rites can help individuals – or institutions – let go their ties with dysfunctional structures and contexts.

This is why Sweden’s first Farewell Bureau, Ars Moriendi, is now part of our R&D.

The Farewell Bureau seeks to play a role in society’s ongoing transformation by facilitating and arranging dignified and personal farewells to artifacts and systems that have outlived their purpose.

Its work has been ongoing since 2022, yielding many insights during its first two years. Above all, it became evident that the entrenchment within the institutional structures of our late-modern society is even more pervasive than we initially thought. It also became clear that a broader perspective was needed. From this realization, RITE emerged.

Including Ars Moriendi’s ongoing exploration within the broader framework of the Rite Agency is therefore a natural step, and the Farewell Bureau is now part of the Rite cluster of investigative processes.
