- Details
- Resources
We know that the arts play an important role in developing Bahá’í communities but integrating the arts into our communities has been a long-time challenge for a variety of reasons. For individuals, communities, and institutions, exploring ways to begin and/or nurture that process is an important step. Learning from artists and exploring and experimenting with ideas that emerge from consultation with them and others is important. This talk includes a presentation on research that includes interviews with twelve Bahá’í artists on a variety of themes, summarized in Visions of the Sacred: Conversations with Bahá’í Artists.
