Brazilian WMNU artist-in-residence João Galera will talk about a community art installation, and the philosophy behind it during this Sunday’s service.
Galera is a Brazilian artist who has drawn since childhood. During doctoral research in anthropology in Mexico, his interest in artistic pursuits intensified. He has participated in collective and individual exhibits in Brazil, the US, and Mexico. He is currently employing the theme of personal and collective memories for his creations.
Galera will speak of “memory and desire” . . . how do our communities’ memories, both spoken and unspoken, shape our desires for our future? After the service, all participants will be encouraged to create a small clay object symbolizing important memories, which will compose a larger piece for a community art installation.
