The Bridge: An Exhibition of Works by Emerging Interfaith Visual Artists CLOSING

Trinity Church Wall Street presents the U.S. premiere of The Bridge, an East-West travelling art exhibition organized and curated by CARAVAN, an interreligious and intercultural peacebuilding NGO at St. Paul’s Chapel (Broadway and Fulton Street). The showcase, which runs from January 20-February 28, 2016, includes the work of 47 contemporary visual artists from 15 countries focusing on what they hold in common through their Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures and creeds.

The Bridge serves as a common starting point on which to begin seeing a world that intrinsically respects and honors cultural and religious diversity.  It opened on February 2, 2015 with a month-long exhibition in Paris to commemorate World Interfaith Harmony Week and was subsequently shown in Cairo, at St. Martin-in-the-Fields on Trafalgar Square in London, and at the Metz Cathedral in Metz, France.  After New York City, it moves to Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel, Spokane’s St. John’s Cathedral, Portland’s Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, and around Wyoming.

St. Paul’s Chapel is part of the parish of Trinity Church Wall Street, a vibrant and welcoming Episcopal community in Lower Manhattan for more than 300 years, carrying out a wide-ranging ministry of service to others. Other recent installations include Another Day Lost, an installation by Issam Kourbaj in Trinity’s churchyard and nearby Parish Center evoking the plight of Syrian refugees; Blood Mirror, a sculpture and video installation by Jordan Eagles inside Trinity Church protesting the FDA ban on blood donations from non-celibate gay men; and the photography exhibit Episcopal Relief & Development: Seventy Five Years of Healing at St. Paul’s Chapel.

The Bridge exhibition is sponsored by Trinity’s Congregational Arts Committee.  To read more about the artists and the exhibition organizers, visit oncaravan.org.
