Art of Interfaith Understanding: Faith Under Fire: The Art of Defiance
Faith Under Fire: The Art of Defiance will explore ways artists have celebrated and supported people of diverse faith traditions responding to faith’s challenges. Challenges may come in the form of political tyranny seeking to suppress opposition, societal norms inimical to religious freedom, or personal suffering unalleviated by pleas for divine intervention. The Art of Defiance gives us perspective, lenses through which we may see the challenges to faith in our own times and options for how to respond.
