Arts Cafe Season
The Artist as True Individual
Bhante Sangharakshita identified valuing the arts as a distinctive emphasis of the Triratna Buddhist Community and this season of events will include some exploration of this with reference to his teachings on the ‘True Individual’. Events will include:
§ A launch event (afternoon of Sat 23 Oct) which will introduce the season and theme more fully and include an interview with Bhadra who, for much of his life, has been a practising artist
§ A celebration of Sangharakshita’s connection with William Blake (afternoon of Sat 30 Oct – the third anniversary of his death)
§ An interview and workshop with Shraddhalocani and Bee – both practising artists who graduated in different decades from Leeds School of Art (afternoon of Sat 20 Nov)
§ An Arts Cafe Evening – to share and celebrate our creativity (evening of Sun 28 Nov) (If you’d like to book at a slot to share something at the Arts Cafe Evening itself, please email artscafe.bristolbuddhistcentre@gmail.com.)
Interspersed with hybrid/in-person events will also be a series of four Friday evenings on Zoom, to ‘meet, listen and make‘: find out more here!
