Machete 13 : The Universe Edition

🪶 Machete 13 : The Universe Edition

A collective meditation, hymn, expression of the Universes contained within. Through the lens of 13 - Universe - Death (Tarot/Major Arcana), 13 strong identities have come together with the purpose of reflection to support one another in translating the stories of their collective lived experiences, emotions and meditations of multi-dimensional beings, creators, philosophers, painters, performance artists, mystics, Mothers of faith and culture.

Showcasing the work and perspectives of emerging talents and internationally renowned established artists —13 is the bridge of translation. In reference to the Death card within the practice of Tarot. Representing great suffering, trial, endurance and, ultimately, transcendence.

In this way, these ruminations are the lens through which a period of struggle is the dawning portal to a new beginning.
