Beirut, 2023
A sensorial ethnographic project, the meditative coffee cup reading group sessions seek to generate a subjective and intimate vision of the unseen. It is an attempted cross pollination of diverse traditions that purport to unveil the unseen, notably tasseography (divination through the reading of coffee grounds) rooted in ilham or inspiration from God or the universe, and Jungian psychoanalysis’s active imagination rooted in the subconsciousness of the psyche. By combining these frameworks, meditative coffee cup reading offers a unique and emotive encounter with the unknown, one that transcends traditional boundaries of knowledge and time.
Sessions were hosted in different loations in Beirut such as Beit laffe, takeover beirut, and private homes.
