The event is part of the event program Viriditas - The Mystical in Art.
Do you love to draw and are you ready for a nice, informal and creative afternoon in Tegnerforbundet's gallery where you can lower your shoulders and dive into the world of drawing together with other drawing enthusiasts? Then we recommend joining our 2-hour drawing workshop Viriditas oracle cards in the exhibition Viriditas - The Mystical in Art.
Tanja Thorjussen and Esra Duzen, the curators of the exhibition, invite you to a drawing workshop where we draw divination cards, inspired by Tarot and Oracle decks. For Hildegard von Bingen, who lived in the Middle Ages (1098-1179), Viriditas describes spiritual and physical health in relation to the spiritual in nature. In the workshop we will explore what Viriditas can mean for us today. Participants can be inspired by the art in the exhibition, by the Tarot and Oracle deck as well as nature and the mystical. Tanja and Esra will guide participants as needed. You can be a beginner or have experience in drawing, we welcome everyone.
