TAYUTAU
Exhibition by Bel Jimenez
25 September—28 October @ Pitanga
Opening: 25 September, 4—5:30pm

“The exhibition takes its name from the Japanese word
Tayutau (たゆたう), evoking
the act of drifting gently with
the current rather than resisting
it. This became the guiding
spirit of the collection: painting
without a predetermined image,
allowing each canvas to
emerge from the unknown.
For me, this is not a collection of abstract paintings. It is the
visible trace of my inner transformation.”—Bel

• Gallery timings: Monday to Saturday
8:30am—12pm & 2:30pm—5pm

Art For All  is an artist community with a difference.

The common thread among these artists is that each one has generously donated a painting to PY-01.COM Trust towards achieving the United Nations' 17 sustainable goals (SDG-30) by 2030 at the grassroots.

Aikido is a martial art created in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba, a
master in traditional Japanese martial arts. Aikido is a path which
aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the
universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the
perspective of the integral development of the being as
emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that
Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced
since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and
benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in
Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may
be stopped without harming or injuring him/her.
The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult
students, and the ones who would like to revive an old
(abandoned) practice!
Adult classes:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning.
Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially
called to join us.
Children/ young students:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm
For the time being no Saturday 9 - 10am class are offered.

German photography pioneer
Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932)
photographed plants so beautifully,
and with such originality,
that his work transcends the
medium itself. Over more than
30 years, he took thousands
of photographs, revealing a
formally rigorous talent whose
precision and dedication
bridge the XIX and XX century
worlds of image-making and
bring a distinctly sculptural aspect
to a firmly two-dimensional
art form.

Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard
backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern
light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man
but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly
final statements on their subject, and have endured owing
to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students
and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and
lastingly effective.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient
sound from the Tibetans bowls.
The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a
powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance
the chakras and promote healing.
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration
touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that
sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in
our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is
because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional
and spiritual planes.”

German photography pioneer
Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932)
photographed plants so beautifully,
and with such originality,
that his work transcends the
medium itself. Over more than
30 years, he took thousands
of photographs, revealing a
formally rigorous talent whose
precision and dedication
bridge the XIX and XX century
worlds of image-making and
bring a distinctly sculptural aspect
to a firmly two-dimensional
art form.

Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard
backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern
light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man
but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly
final statements on their subject, and have endured owing
to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students
and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and
lastingly effective.

TAYUTAU
Exhibition by Bel Jimenez
25 September—28 October @ Pitanga
Opening: 25 September, 4—5:30pm

“The exhibition takes its name from the Japanese word
Tayutau (たゆたう), evoking
the act of drifting gently with
the current rather than resisting
it. This became the guiding
spirit of the collection: painting
without a predetermined image,
allowing each canvas to
emerge from the unknown.
For me, this is not a collection of abstract paintings. It is the
visible trace of my inner transformation.”—Bel

Aikido is a martial art created in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba, a
master in traditional Japanese martial arts. Aikido is a path which
aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the
universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the
perspective of the integral development of the being as
emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that
Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced
since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and
benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in
Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may
be stopped without harming or injuring him/her.
The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult
students, and the ones who would like to revive an old
(abandoned) practice!
Adult classes:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning.
Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially
called to join us.
Children/ young students:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm

On 4th - 17th October, 2026, 9am - 5pm

Aikido is a martial art created in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba, a
master in traditional Japanese martial arts. Aikido is a path which
aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the
universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the
perspective of the integral development of the being as
emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that
Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced
since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and
benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in
Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may
be stopped without harming or injuring him/her.
The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult
students, and the ones who would like to revive an old
(abandoned) practice!
Adult classes:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning.
Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially
called to join us.
Children/ young students:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm
For the time being no Saturday 9 - 10am class are offered.

German photography pioneer
Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932)
photographed plants so beautifully,
and with such originality,
that his work transcends the
medium itself. Over more than
30 years, he took thousands
of photographs, revealing a
formally rigorous talent whose
precision and dedication
bridge the XIX and XX century
worlds of image-making and
bring a distinctly sculptural aspect
to a firmly two-dimensional
art form.

Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard
backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern
light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man
but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly
final statements on their subject, and have endured owing
to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students
and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and
lastingly effective.

TAYUTAU
Exhibition by Bel Jimenez
25 September—28 October @ Pitanga
Opening: 25 September, 4—5:30pm

“The exhibition takes its name from the Japanese word
Tayutau (たゆたう), evoking
the act of drifting gently with
the current rather than resisting
it. This became the guiding
spirit of the collection: painting
without a predetermined image,
allowing each canvas to
emerge from the unknown.
For me, this is not a collection of abstract paintings. It is the
visible trace of my inner transformation.”—Bel

German photography pioneer
Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932)
photographed plants so beautifully,
and with such originality,
that his work transcends the
medium itself. Over more than
30 years, he took thousands
of photographs, revealing a
formally rigorous talent whose
precision and dedication
bridge the XIX and XX century
worlds of image-making and
bring a distinctly sculptural aspect
to a firmly two-dimensional
art form.

Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard
backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern
light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man
but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly
final statements on their subject, and have endured owing
to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students
and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and
lastingly effective.

without a predetermined image,

emerge from the unknown.

Aikido is a martial art created in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba, a
master in traditional Japanese martial arts. Aikido is a path which
aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the
universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the
perspective of the integral development of the being as
emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that
Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced
since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and
benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in
Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may
be stopped without harming or injuring him/her.
The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult
students, and the ones who would like to revive an old
(abandoned) practice!
Adult classes:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning.
Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially
called to join us.
Children/ young students:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm

Starting from 17th November
There will be a LIGHT massage by the Tibetan Bowls.
Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient
sound from the Tibetans bowls.
The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a
powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance
the chakras and promote healing.
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration
touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that
sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in
our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is
because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional
and spiritual planes.”
Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.
Please arrive 10 minutes before.

German photography pioneer
Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932)
photographed plants so beautifully,
and with such originality,
that his work transcends the
medium itself. Over more than
30 years, he took thousands
of photographs, revealing a
formally rigorous talent whose
precision and dedication
bridge the XIX and XX century
worlds of image-making and
bring a distinctly sculptural aspect
to a firmly two-dimensional
art form.

Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard
backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern
light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man
but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly
final statements on their subject, and have endured owing
to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students
and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and
lastingly effective.
