Mirror Tarot with Sarah Shin and Colectivo Arquétipa
Join us at Well Read for an evening exploring the worlds of Mirror Tarot: a book and tarot deck by Sammy Lee and Sarah Shin, on Spiral House. Sarah Shin, Kaitlyn Davies and members of Colectivo Arquétipa will explore the tarot as a worldmaking tool and Italo Calvino’s conception of the tarot as ‘a machine for constructing stories’.
They will touch upon the tarot's relationship to artistic, literary and intellectual history: from al-Andalus and the Neoplatonist Renaissance to psychoanalysis, manga and cosmology.
The conversation will be followed by tarot readings using a selection of decks, including Mirror Tarot. Rather than offering fixed interpretations, the Mirror Tarot cards are each accompanied by a microfiction and a creative prompt, inviting readers to make their own stories and connections.
Full Moon in Gemini, see you soon.
