Brewing Serenity: A Tea Ceremony in Shihori Yamamoto's Womb Installation
Experience a unique fusion of traditional tea culture and contemporary art. This event invites guests to sit in Yamamoto’s “womb sanctuary” and be enveloped by radial drawings cascading from the dome's apex while bathing in the sound of the artist’s recorded heartbeat emanating from outside the tent walls. This auditory experience is paired with soft lights which pulse, synchronized with the recording of heartbeat. As you sit in the tent, the rhythmic heart-lights filter through the womb’s walls creating a nurturing, immersive ambiance.
This installation not only artistically represents our universally shared, biological beginnings inside a womb, but also seeks to unify humanity’s experience in a shared, introspective space. Yamamoto's installation is a "psychological refugee tent" for participants. Join us for this intimate, transformative tea ceremony, and for a dialogue between the tranquility of tea arts and the profound message of human connection conveyed through Shihori Yamamoto's work.
20-minute Timed Entry. Registration Required.
