LIBRARY OF ESOTERICA: IN CONVERSATION WITH JESSICA HUNDLEY
Thursday 5th September
7 - 9 PM
Jessica Hundley and Tree Carr
Join us at our Broadway Market store for an evening of conversation on all things estoteric with the author and editor of the Library of Esoterica series Jessica Hundley. Our compère for the evening will be everyones fave witch Tree Carr. We will be celebrating the recent release of the Sacred Sites book alongside a sneak peak into the new title Spirit Worlds.
Sacred Sites is a visual pilgrimage through holy mountains, great pyramids, and golden shrines, Sacred Sites celebrates the ways we transform the world around us through ritual, creativity, and worship. Essays, interviews and more than 400 images explore spaces ranging from ancient temples to modern works of spatial art.
The Library of Esoterica explores how centuries of artists have given form to mysticism, translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring, visionary works of art. Each subject is showcased through both modern and archival imagery culled from private collectors, libraries, and museums around the globe. The result forms an inclusive visual history, a study of our primal pull to dream and nightmare, and the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine.
Following the Q&A, attendees will have the opportunity to meet Jessica, purchase a signed copy of the books, and engage in a discussion about all things esoteric.
