Ritual: Live Art or Group Therapy?264 viewsThe title of this essay is a response to an article in the Artist's Newsletter entitled "Community Arts: Art or Therapy?".
However, the content explores whether or not sacred ceremony can be considered as a genre within visual art, and concludes that, with some important provisos, received wisdom distinguishing between the two types of activity is outdated and ill-informed.

Ritual and Empowerment256 viewsSacred ceremonies are often perceived as imposing and maintaining a belief system, and as being a mechanism for controlling an obedient congregation.
It doesn't have to be this way. There is nothing so sacred as an individual's relationship to their divinity and their community, and nothing so precious as a sense of meaning and compassion.
Sacred ceremonies can, and maybe should, be constructed to celebrate these things. This essay explores how.
