Visions of the Sacred: Conversations with Bahá'í Artists

Kim MacQueen 2024 ABS Conference, Atlanta, GA We know that the arts play an important role in developing Bahá’í communities but integrating the arts into our communities has been a long-time challenge for a variety of reasons. For individuals, communities, and institutions, exploring ways to begin and/or nurture that process is an important step. Learning from artists and exploring and experimenting with ideas that emerge from consultation with them and others is important. This talk includes a presentation on research that includes interviews with twelve Bahá’í artists on a variety of themes, summarized in Visions of the Sacred: Conversations with Bahá’í Artists.
