A event on Wednesday 15th March. The event starts at 18:00.
Meditations on the Tarot is a new event format that combines the study of the archetypes of the Major Arcana of the Tarot and drawing and it is intended to learn how to use the energy of each card to inform the creative process (of any type!).
After a meditation on the card (on the occasion of this first event it will be the fool), the meanings and symbolism of the arcana will be introduced by a selection of images picked among different decks (ancient Italian cards, Marseille, Raider/Waite and contemporary decks) and art history images.
In the second phase, the participants will experiment with the energy of the arcane by making a drawing (or more than one drawing!) providing a visual interpretation of it or whatever comes to their minds. It is not necessary to get to a final artwork in one session but the experience is meant to visually translate any emerging ideas or associations which can then later be implemented. Where? in an artwork? in your creative production? or in your life? Your choice!
The card subject of the event on Wednesday 15th of March 2023 from 18.00 to 20.00 will be "Il matto", "Le mat", 'The Fool'. Chaotic or inspired? This innocent explorer open to the possibilities in life and on his way to spiritual awakening can be a powerful ally for any new beginning and also for reactivating one's creativity and launching oneself into new experiences.
The workshop is therefore intended to be preparatory to the study and learning of tarot - in fact, there will be a monthly meeting for each card - and to internalise the meanings of each archetype in order to generate art inspired by these archetypical figures.
It is desirable and desired to be able to collect the materials produced during the session or later in order to organise an exhibition. The workshop also aims to favour relationships and connections between the people involved and create a community around the project.
Who is it aimed at:
Creative or not - the workshop is open to everyone that wants to give it a go! No artistic or drawing skills are required. People are invited even if they would prefer to use the experience to produce other art forms such as poetry, music, etc.
Materials such as paper, pencils, markers, acrylic paints and other mediums are available - but feel free to bring your own.
Where:
L'Etoile Art Space - 18 West Street, BS2 0DF, Bristol (Old Market)
When:
15th of March 2023 - Wednesday 18.00-20.00
