Fool Hearty
An arts pop-up exploring the human experience through Tarot
Episode 2.
The wheel of fortune & the winds of change
In these wild times, it feels like we’re all riding the Wheel of Fortune. Or getting run over by it!
Originally associated with the goddess Fortuna, who could change the fortunes of the powerful in an instant, the Wheel of Fortune reminds us that change is the one thing we can rely on.
In this interactive arts pop-up, we’re taking a spin through the mysterious realm of the Wheel of Fortune — exploring fate, karma, and our ability to hold steady amidst shifting realities and times of great change (like now!!).
You'll hear stories and poems inspired by the Wheel of Fortune, interspersed with works of visual art and songs from around the world and across time, played by a small but mighty orchestra of ukuleles!
We'll also make a little spontaneous art together — reflecting our collective experience navigating the Roller Coaster of Life!
You’ll leave with chills of inspiration, new friends, and the power that comes when we gather around the artistic hearth to respond to what’s in front of us, with magic and creativity by our side.
Join us on Sunday, September 28, at 4pm at Captain Quackenbush’s Coffeehouse for a wild spin with The Wheel of Fortune!
