Lo Carmen talks with photojournalist Klaus Bo, who has been exploring death rituals around the world with his camera for over ten years, immersing himself in the cultures for months at a time, and believes we can learn a lot about life and death from witnessing them.

See Klaus’s incredible photographs at www.deadandaliveproject.com. You can also follow him on Instagram and Substack.

We also hear from Romani singer Sarah Bedak and Jane Skinner about their personal experiences in Serbia and Varanasi.
