yeah she got in trouble for it from some hindus.
i love this sort of thing. it's the right way of working things out i reckon
ok we're talking about the artist here (not the curator of the exhibition...)
i think the artwork/artist is spot on. it's absolutely correct to get that from kali i think. very cool painting 💛
i did enjoy the exhibition very much. an amazing collection of great stuff.
but i thought the underlying message behind the organisation of the exhibition didn't strike to the very simple heart of what Tantra represents. it's not helped by the fact that Tantra means about nine different things - "the weave", "relating to sex", a socio-historical event, the left-hand path, to achieve illumination by passing through attachment rather than asceticism etc.
the clearest way of looking at it is that Tantra essentially refers to accelerated yogic practices - yogas being those disciplines to hook you up to the spiritual high - and Tantra is any practice that is faster than the standard bhakti/jnanan/raja/hatha/nada. it might even be a version of one of those things...
so like EXTREME bhakti with overegged ritual (like the ritual slaughter of goats in the kali ceremonies). the use of [hashish] bhang or psilocybin. sex ritual etc. THAT'S what Tantra means/is.
