DESCRIPTION: \nAn Ink Pot Arts Inc initiative\nParsifal Unpacked \nA series of 6 webinars \nintroducing the story through image and text \nCourse Facilitator: Fiona Campbell\, with guest artists\, courtesy of Ink Pots Arts \n  \nWhat are the myths and legends we live by?

What might they represent for us in modern\, multicultural Australia today? \nImmerse yourself in this rich introduction to the Parsifal story.
