Bardo: How do We Write About the In-Between? at The Rubin Museum of Art
Tour & Lecture, Friday, September 15, 6:15-8:30pm EDT

Many associate the bardo as the state in-between life and death. However, the bardo also refers to any liminal state, including the midpoint of dreaming and waking. Bardos are junctures at which the possibility for awakening, or liberation, is amplified. Join scholar and poet Dominique Townsend as she leads a conversation with two vital contributors to the Tibetan literary landscape, Ann Tashi Slater and Tenzin Dickie about navigating bardo periods of transition and coming to terms with change. Prior to the lecture, join them at 6:15pm for a pre-program exhibition tour of Death Is Not the End with Senior Specialist, Himalayan Art & Culture, Tenzin Gelek.
