In this workshop we will examine and discuss: Good versus evil, black versus white, male versus female, light versus dark. In America today, we are all too familiar with these moral absolutes, aren't we? We may be a diverse mix of folks here, but the dominant cultures from which this patriarchy emerged ”the British Isles, and European Christianity”built moral codes on stories of good vs evil. These codes have dangerous repercussions as they are used to ascribe moral value to ideas, things... and even people. Who helps us to examine this state of juxtaposition, this friction? Artists. Poets. Storytellers. Taking inspiration from a collection of “Hanged Oneâ€_x009d_ tarot cards, and exploring the artists' interpretations, we will examine concepts of flipping, of being upside down, of turning absolutes on their head.
