Interreligious Encounters and Creative Practice

Join Us for Interreligious Encounters and Creative Practice!

This event is organised by the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at Newcastle University, Religions for Peace UK and The University of Edinburgh (Social Anthropology & Alwaleed Centre) and seeks to strengthen bridges between:

• Architecture
• Anthropology
• Art
• Film
• Performance arts
• Cultural landscape studies, and other disciplines

The event will feature an exhibition of creative practice outputs responding to the them and panel discussion [3-4 people per panel] on emerging themes. In this context, focus will be on the ways in which creative practice includes different modes of making, documenting, interpreting, teaching and developing history; those that challenge an objectivity and linearity, but open us up to the role of the imagination.

Organisers

The symposium is organised by Dr Christos Kakalis (SAPL), Dr George Tsourous (SAPL) and Dr Giulia Liberatore (Social Anthropology and Islamic & Middle Eastern Studies, The University of Edinburgh).

This event is kindly funded by Religions for Peace UK, part of the international Religions for Peace Movement which has over 90 affiliated national bodies. Their initiatives identify with the UN Sustainable Development Goals in order to weave peaceful coexistence amongst local, regional and local faith actors.
