This Time with Tea
JULY 25, 2020
3:00-4:30pm
The vital nature of tea lies in the profound fact that each making, sharing, and drinking of tea is "one time." Each tea is alive with its unique difference and unrepeatability in time. Each tea is the manifestation of the singular materials, circumstances, and vital energies co-created by its participants.
Six collaborators will gather and, while sharing tea virtually, embody the vital energy and spirit of this time with tea. We will collectively throw coins to arrive at one, co-created IChing hexagram and share its poetic translation (as offered by David Hinton in his IChing, The Book of Change). This hexagram will be inspiration for postcard artworks that smudge studio will then create: six "image-sensations" of the unique, singular forces at play during the moments of the group's shared time with tea.
Smudge will then gift the cards to participants and invite them to be used to contemplate the vitality of the experience and tea shared at the Summer Tea.
