Spring 18: Meeting Christ in Faith and Art

Exhibition: “Meeting Christ in Faith and Art”

January 29 – May 4, 2018

Archives and Special Collections, William H. Hannon Library

The William H. Hannon Library’s spring exhibition in the Department of Archives and Special Collections draws on several years of student work from Cecilia González-Andrieu's “Meeting Christ in Faith and Art” course. Is Jesus a cultural icon, an overused symbol, a historical person, a cosmic phenomenon? How is it that art can elicit so many differing interpretations of the Christ figure? This collection examines the production and interpretation of creative works as a means to explore the many meanings and understandings of Jesus as Christ.
