This silence has had a disproportionate impact on young adults. \u2018Death literacy\u2019 has emerged to support greater community awareness and understanding of end-of-life care options through education and dialogue. Arts-based approaches may be particularly relevant for young adults, yet research remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This knowledge translation project explored arts-based approaches for translating palliative care narrative data into creative forms, examining the feasibility of converting research narratives into accessible art forms that could facilitate engagement with death-related topics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This project employed an arts-based knowledge translation approach, co-designing a course for undergraduate artists with researchers, artists and faculty to translate palliative care narratives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The course utilized anonymized text from ethnographic research (K.S.

The collaborative translation process revealed that undergraduate artists could effectively interpret and visualize complex palliative care narratives through diverse artistic approaches. Course evaluations and informal feedback indicated that artists found the experience meaningful and challenging, and expressed interest in further exploration of death-related topics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The translation process produced accessible visual interpretations of complex illness narratives and, based on course feedback, appeared to facilitate openness to death-related discussions.
