Abstract:
Three crosses, outlined by nails on white panels, set the scene of Jesus' crucifixion. Meanwhile, a slideshow of personal stories collected from our community were projected onto the crucifixion panels. The slideshow opens with Genesis 15: God promises Abram that after 400 years of alienation, enslavement, and oppression, his descendants will receive justice, prosperity, and a homeland. The subsequent photographs and interviews compose an audio-visual testimony, recounting deep historical wounds and generational sins that Jesus came to redeem.
The artist's notes and images of the projected slides are attached to this post.
Photos and video footage of communal participation in the art project are available here.
