Ritual Arts Presents: The Cycles of Birth, Life & Death

The cycles of birth, life and death are a commonality shared across time, cultures, races and religions, with rites of passage and initiation often forming core beliefs within a culture. Since our earliest records, humans have made visual representations of our lives, and for many centuries since, artists have communicated spiritual concepts through visual means to create understanding for their communities.

Given this significance, Ritual Arts invites artists to explore the stories, memories, ceremonies, and deeper meanings of these cycles within their own personal and cultural contexts, in order to express and dialogue between our unique viewpoints.

Join us in the beautiful cSPACE Marda Loop Studio Theatre for an exclusive performance showcase in conjunction with the ongoing Ritual Arts visual arts exhibition in the lower Gallery Hallway.
