Reading List Thinking Tantra Artists’ Reading List Back Artists and curators taking part in Drawing Room's exhibition programme are invited to compile ‘reading lists’ that inform and expand the themes explored in their work. This list has been compiled for Thinking Tantra, an exhibition starting with anonymous Tantric drawings from a span of two to three hundred years, and including drawings made in the Tantric tradition, with works by artists who know these drawings well, respond to them, and actively relate them to their own practice. Titles marked with an asterisk * are held in Outset Study.
