"Trickster Divination" Tarot Workshop

Taking inspiration from her artwork "Trickster's Journey" in the exhibition, Jia Sung will lead a tarot workshop. She will give a general introduction to tarot and the inspiration behind her own hand painted decks which blend traditional tarot with Chinese mythology and Buddhist/Daoist iconography. Participants are then invited to create tarot cards based on characters from the Major Arcana using watercolor, encouraging participants to create their own narratives within the tarot format.
