At Natasha, they will host a two-day Sensing Salon programme where they will introduce a first version of a new reading tool they are in the process of creating: the Echo Tarot deck. The deck takes the poems of African American-Japanese poet Ai Ogawa as a starting point to produce a new vision for the tarot, one that speculates on nonviolent as well as generous and generative ways of living on this planet.On the first day, they will discuss their approach to reading and introduce the basic structure of the Tarot and the traditional interpretations of each card. On the second day, they will introduce the Echo Tarot Deck, its process and development, and will use a preliminary deck to perform a collective reading with the participants. Participation to both days of the Sensing Salon is preferred, especially if you are unfamiliar with Tarot.____________________________________________ABOUT THE ARTISTSThe Sensing Salon is a studio practice, conceived by Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva, which expands the image of art beyond objects, events and discourse to include the healing arts. By facilitating collaborative studying and experimenting with different practices and tools for divination (e.g. Tarot and Astrology) and healing (e.g. Reiki and Political Therapy), the Sensing Salon fosters a form of sociality that attends to our deeply implicated existence. Together they perform individual and group sessions of Poethical Readings where they use different reading tools, layering them to image and discuss the questions brought forward by the participants.You can read more about the artists, Valentina Desideri & Denise Ferreira da Silva here.DETAILSDates: 18 and 19 March 2023 (Participants can choose to attend either session)Time: 2pm to 4pmMEETING POINTLevel 5 Gallery Space, Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark39 Keppel Road#05-02, Singapore 089065PHOTOGRAPHYBy attending this programme, you consent to being photographed, filmed and/or video-recorded.
