Yearnings: An Intersection Of the Trivial and Tragic Planes
This exhibit showcases a little-known Buddhist tradition that Kathleen Trenchard has been developing for 30 years. The tradition is Buddhist burial papers, which Trenchard has been collecting. The paper garments are metaphors for timeless continuity and recycling of life and death. The sensory exhibit immerses visitors with incense, fresh flowers, a gong and hot tea.
When: Friday, November 16, 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Where: Bihl Haus Arts, 2803 Fredericksburg Road
