Seeing Subversively: Wealth and Poverty in Art and Faith
Seeing Subversively: Wealth and Poverty in Art and Faith
Biblical and spiritual tradition is rich in images of wealth and poverty. Particularly in their paradoxes, artists, psalmists, poets, prophets, activists and contemplatives have found beauty, hope, meaning – and humour too. This retreat day is an opportunity to open our eyes to some new perspectives on a range of visual art. Join us to reflect on where we might find inspiration for Advent in the everyday, and even deep within the old and new injustices of human history.
