Add to Calendar 2024-06-14 4:00 PM 2024-06-16 2:00 PM America/New_York Ethiopian Art and Spirit: Bridging Centuries and Cultures Retreat

Guardian angels have long been used by the Christian faithful in Ethiopia and other religious traditions. The sacred work of liturgical artist Laura James employs the ancient Ethiopian Christian way of icon-making and expands on the collection of stories traditionally painted in this style. James is pleased to help Black people see themselves in their sacred texts, a place from which racialized people have curiously been excluded in the West. Participants will be guided to paint their own guardian angels.

Led by Laura James.
