168. Hilma af Klint and Safety Coffins

Hayley covers the queen of abstract art, and communicating with the spirit realm, Hilma af Klint. Hilma kept her art secret for decades believing the world wasn’t ready. We are glad she is finally getting the credit she deserves! Then, if you don’t already have taphophobia, you definitely will after Kat’s lesson. She recounts three terrifying stories of people being buried alive, and the lengths inventors went to prevent future mishaps. https://linktr.ee/nightclassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023 Hilma af Klint Sources:  https://www.guggenheim.org/teaching-materials/hilma-af-klint-paintings-for-the-future/spiritual-beliefs#:~:text=Af%20Klint%20was%20also%20influenced,could%20communicate%20with%20the%20living. https://www.thecollector.com/how-occultism-spiritualism-inspired-hilma-af-klint-paintings/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ab_QfeL4u4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMTiKeG6JUE https://www.guggenheim.org/teaching-materials/hilma-af-klint-paintings-for-the-future/spiritual-beliefs#:~:text=Af%20Klint%20was%20also%20influenced,could%20communicate%20with%20the%20living. https://www.guggenheim.org/teaching-materials/hilma-af-klint-paintings-for-the-future/paintings-for-the-temple https://www.modernamuseet.se/stockholm/en/exhibitions/hilma-af-klint-2013/symbols/#:~:text=Here%20are%20a%20few%20general,while%20U%20stands%20for%20spirit.
