大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「Centering on the power of divine feminine energy, Tantra inspired the dramatic rise of goddess worship in medieval India and continues to influence contemporary feminist thought and artistic practice. From its 6th-century transformation of Hinduism and Buddhism, to the Indian fight for independence, Tantra has challenged religious, cultural and political norms around the world. In the 1960s and 70s, global countercultural movements drew on Tantric ideas and imagery. In Europe and the USA, interpretations of Tantra influenced the period's radical politics – inspiring anti-capitalist, ecological and free love ideals, and even inspiring the Rolling Stones. In the contemporary art world, artists like Bharti Kher and Sutapa Biswas have harnessed Tantric goddesses through the bodies of real women, evoking them through a feminist lens.
