Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊 - OFFERING 1: ahma’s gourd (with Daoism Study Group)

•~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• will host Daoism Study Group (present members Joon Lynn Goh, Josie Pearse, Hannah Yu-Pearson), who will gather with Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊 for a tea ritual and shared reflection on the exhibition. The group will draw on Daoist logics, hexagrams, and verses from the Dao De Jing, in listening for what the work stirs.

Tea, snacks, and time for audience responses will be offered.

Daoism Study Group is a monthly online gathering of followers of the Dao (the Way), of which Song is a member. Through shared stories, lived experience and reflection, the group explores how the Way moves through life - in relationships and conflict, work and creativity, health, politics, the natural world, and the wider cosmos.

Daoism 

Daoism manifests as a philosophy, religion, spiritual practice and a diverse set of traditions indigenous to China. Daoism’s classic text is the Dao De Jing, written during China’s Warring States period (403-221 BC) - when military handbooks were the most common texts. The Dao De Jing, conversely, nurtured a creative and symbiotic relationship with nature, including principles of self-cultivation, non-coercion and mutual transformation. Over 2000 years later, it still serves as both wisdom and strategy.
