Dear colleagues, I’m pleased to inform you that the MANTRAMS workshop on visual mantras will be accessible online in a listen-only webinar format:
How do mantras become visible? This workshop, organized by MANTRAMS (Task Force 3: Materiality of Mantras), examines the inscription, iconography, and diagramming of sacred sound across South Asian and transregional contexts. Topics include diagrammatic forms (yantras, maṇḍalas, protective designs), iconographic correspondences between syllables, deities, colors, and directions, subtle-body visualizations, and the politics of visibility, secrecy, and authority. The program opens with a public keynote by Kajri Jain (University of Toronto), “Vision in the sensorium of mantras”, followed by two workshop days featuring six panels with international scholars. Attend online (free, registration required): Please register here <https://univienna.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tQbVP6yFR42QkzGhalUEtg> to receive a unique Zoom link that covers the keynote and all workshop sessions.
