Who Am I to Answer the Call? |
Open through the month of May in the Underground Gallery, Who Am I to Answer the Call? invites audiences into a deeply personal and imaginative space where artists explore the experience of being summoned by conscience, history, or circumstances to act.
Created by the 2024–2025 cohort of the Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts (RSA) program at the Herron School of Art and Design, this exhibition brings together a wide range of visual and interdisciplinary work, specifically in response to Moses' encounter with the burning bush in Exodus 3.
