The Art of Tarot

March 2025

Laetitia Barbier will be in residence this March hosting a series of events and workshops which aim to illuminate the multifaceted nature of Tarot, a game birthed during the Italian Renaissance, and showcase its artistic integrity. Laetitia taps into Tarot not just as a poetic art form, but also as a tool for unlocking creativity. By delving into the rich visual metaphors of the cards, she seeks to inspire students, fostering their imagination and encouraging collaborative creative pursuits.
