Breathe and find flow with artist and former karate world champion Kristina Mah in a workshop inspired by Lee Ming Wei’s Spirit House 2022, an art installation on lower level 2 of the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ north building, Naala Badu.
We'll meet in the Welcome Plaza outside the building before moving through the gallery spaces to Spirit House. Led by Kristina Mah, you’ll be invited to drop into the present moment through your body and make contact with the mind of the warrior, drawing on budo (a Japanese term meaning ‘the martial way’). We’ll explore connections with self, other and space through chi (breath), kihon (movement) and kime (inner focus), and experiment with softness, strength and power, as we feel our way from focus to flow.
No experience is required and all abilities are welcome.
This event is part of a regular program of interactive workshops – Create, Draw, Meditate and Move – on Wednesday nights during Art After Hours at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, inspired by the Art Gallery’s collection and the art on display.
