Art for the People - Social Sangha at the Mingei
About this Event
Time to get curious at the Mingei with new docent and member of our Sangha, Lisa Rice! What does “Mingei” mean? What do I actually DO in an art museum? Why would I want to go to one? We’ll dig into all of it on a Friday evening, right before the 7pm Recovery Dharma meeting.
We’ll tour Painted Prayers, an exhibit of Ema, the prayer plaques left at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Why would someone put a centipede or an octopus on their prayer plaque? Which animal brings luck on exams? Can you still leave Ema at shrines today? And what would you put on yours? All questions and answers are welcome at the people’s museum.
Lisa’s mom is generously covering admission for all 12 spots, so the tour is free! If it’s full, join the waitlist and you’ll get an email the second a spot opens up. Adults only for this one, but let us know if you’d be interested in a kids’ tour in the coming months.
Parking: free for 3 hours at the Lower Inspiration Point lot, with a free tram to the Plaza de Panama. The Alcazar lot next door is paid until 6pm.
Bring: comfortable shoes.
Can’t make it after all? Cancel through your confirmation email so the next person on the waitlist gets your spot.
