As part of the 2019 Theology in the City Conference at Concordia University, Landscape of Hope held a musical and multimedia performance at St-Jax Church on October 31, 2019.
Theology in the City is a free week-long conference hosted by the Department of Theological Studies explores the themes of resilience, hope, suspicion and fear through a multidisciplinary lens.
In the weeks prior to the performance Landscape of Hope invited Concordia Art Education and Theology students to co-create multimedia material with students from l’École des arts visuels et médiatiques de l’Université du Québec à Montréal for a special theologically themed performance. Professors Vivek Venkatesh (Concordia) and Martin Lalonde (UQAM), and research assistants Léah Snider (Art Education, Concordia), Éva Roy (Art Education, Concordia) and Dezaye Nair (Media Studies, Concordia) facilitated a digital arts workshop introducing students to theological questions and enabling them to contribute to Landscape of Hope’s growing body of digital materials surrounding the way in which we address the concepts of hate and hope in postmodern society.
Here is a short documentary in French and English on the Theology in the City event.
