Opening Reception | Ik-Joong Kang: We Are Connected


Ik-Joong Kang bridges East and West through his evocative art. This exhibition reflects his artistic world weaving diverse elements into a harmonious tapestry to illustrate the interconnectedness of our global community. At the heart of Kang's aesthetic is a macrocosmic worldview that transcends boundaries of race, nationality, age, gender, and nature. This expansive perspective is complemented by his microcosmic view, shaped by his formative experiences as a Korean artist in New York during the 1980s and 1990s. While studying at Pratt Institute in 1984, Kang carried a 3-inch canvas in his pocket, sketching diverse New Yorkers during his subway rides and long work hours. These early experiences honed his skill in capturing intricate details while envisioning grand-scale projects. Kang's art transforms everyday materials and traditional motifs into profound visual narratives. His monumental works, such as the vast installations composed of thousands of small parts, serve as metaphors for the collective human experience. Each fragment, whether it be a piece of glazed porcelain, a Hangeul tile, or a multimedia element, embodies a story, a memory, or a piece of cultural heritage.

Lecture | Radical Universalism


"We hold these truth to be self evident, that all men are created equal". So begins the US Declaration of Independence. "Human Dignity is inviolable". So begins the German Basic Law. Can we still stand by the universalist humanism that's expressed in these statements? Or is the tradition of enlightenment universalism that they embody - based as it is in Kant's thinking - the expression of colonial Eurocentrism that crushes identities and enables injustice? In this talk, Omri Boehm will address the difficult questions of identity politics, universalist tradition and the critique of universalism from a Kantian perspective, touching also the difficult conversations about the post-colonial left on the one hand and international law on the other.

Book Discussion | Reckoning with Race in the Church with Pulitzer Prize Winner (In Person AND Online!)

In Undivided, Han follows four members of a conservative Midwest church whose lives are radically altered for the better by a six-week program designed to tackle racial injustice among their ranks. Griswold and Han will discuss their books with journalist Andrea Elliott and examine how their stories shed light on the complexity of contemporary American evangelism.
