12 Oct Icons with a Voice: Rethinking Sacred Art
In this episode, we explore “Animism, Materiality, and Museums” by Glenn Peers, where he flips the script on how we view sacred art. Instead of seeing Byzantine icons as mere windows to the divine, Peers invites us to consider their materiality as something vibrant and alive. He questions the traditional divide between the spiritual and the physical, offering a fresh perspective that might just change how we think about devotional objects and museum collections. Join us as we uncover the hidden voices and lives within these ancient icons, and rethink the way we connect with the world around us.
