Religion & Art is a CHASE funded research initiative by Nina Danino, Art Department, Goldsmiths University of London and CHASE partner Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies (LIFTS) University of Essex represented by Professor Jeffrey Geiger and with Mark Dean, Arts Chaplaincy Projects. Starting with a symposium in 2020, it is a continuing project with a series of public cultural and critical events in different formats that set out to create interdisciplinary encounters between religion and art from a generative position and to create a field of research and further enquiry in art practice.
