Open Days: Religion, Art and Community in Oxford
Event Information
Description
On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th February, it will be your very last chance to see the Imagining the Divine exhibition. On its final weekend, the curators of both Imagining the Divine and Those Who Follow (Dominic and Stefanie) will be running two final open days. Attendees will see both exhibitions for free, enjoy a free lunch with the curators, and have the chance to take part in the ongoing research of the Empires of Faith project.
These events are free to attend. We will start in the Ioannou centre on St. Giles, Oxford, with a brief survey, and then free entry to Imagining the Divine, where the curators will be on hand to answer any questions. Lunch will be provided in the Ioannou Centre, where attendees will also see Those Who Follow with the curators. In the afternoon we'll talk about some of the themes of both exhibitions, from the ancient foundations of religious art, to modern perceptions of religious diversity in Oxford, in an open and informal environment.
As well as being a great way to see the exhibitions, these days will give people a chance to be involved with research currently being undertaken at the University of Oxford on art and religion. The days are designed as an inspiring and entertaining experience for everyone. We’re keen to hear your thoughts on the exhibitions, on what religious art and buildings mean to you, and how you think about those of different religions and cultures.
