Conférence : “Tarot – Origins and Afterlives. A Symposium”, Londres, Warburg Institute, le 26 avril 2025, de 10h à 18h

This one-day conference will celebrate the final week of the UK’s first exhibition on the history of tarot. Like the show, the symposium will explore a sequence of critical moments from tarot’s 600-year history, exploring the decks’ origins in the courtly card games of Renaissance Italy and the profound transformations they have undergone in the hands of artists, mystics and writers. Offering the insights of scholarly experts, including many members of the exhibition’s Scientific Committee, the day will dig deeper into both the origins and afterlives of this durable and vital set of symbols.

Featured Topics:

ORIGINS: the relationship between tarocchi and playing cards, the designs of the Visconti and Sola Busca cards
REVIVALS: Oswald Wirth, Lady Frieda Harris and Surrealist uses of tarot
HISTORIES: Aby Warburg, Ernst Tristan Kurtzahn and Gertrude Moakley
