Imma Ramos - 2020

Overview

Tantra: Enlightenment to Revolution delves into a radical philosophy that reshaped the religious, cultural, and political landscape of India and beyond. Emerging in early medieval India, Tantra has been associated with revolutionary thought, influencing everything from its 6th-century impact on Hinduism and Buddhism to India's independence movement and the global rise of 1960s counterculture. Focusing on the power of divine feminine energy, Tantra fueled the significant growth of goddess worship in medieval India and has continued to shape contemporary feminist perspectives and artistic endeavors.
