A
THE ART OF ATTENTIVENESS: In our contemporary algorithm-driven and largely digital reality, we are catechized to make snap judgments with barely a glance. But art provides us with the opportunity to develop a countercultural practice of close and sustained looking. This, in turn, can help us engage more purposefully with our world and our neighbors in love. This talk introduces practices of close looking that can be used in both a museum context and our daily lives.
B
CALLING, DISTRACTION, HARD TASK, SABBATH: WRESTLING WITH VOCATION WITH THE HELP OF POETS: What is calling, and what does it mean to follow an artistic calling when it is not our primary occupation? How do we deal well with the many tensions a multi-vocational life creates? To more deeply reflect on a Christian understanding of vocation, Sarah will help us inhabit one of Wendell Berry's sabbath poems, reflecting on these four words: calling, distraction, hard task, sabbath.
We will share a charcuterie-style meal together. Please indicate what you could bring to contribute:
