Due to a confluence of energies and visions, several mandala exhibitions and programs are inhabiting the Emory campus this spring. From the ancient Tibetan tantric and meditation practices at the Carlos Museum to more contemporary art forms to plans for a living mandala planting near Cannon Chapel.
The latter idea grew out of a conversation the Dharamsala arts travelers had with His Holines the Karmapa in 2008.
A mandala by New York artist and Morehouse College alumnus Sanford Biggers forms the centerpiece of the Visual Arts gallery, providing a dynamic space for music and dance.
Everything, it seems, goes in a circular motion. My colleagues and I will be circumambulating these places and spaces to see what new visions unfold for us.
See "Moon Peak" a video created by my colleagues and me--celebrating our trip to Dharamsala in the summer of 2010:
