SUMMARY:“Radiance of the Body: Spirituality in the Art of Keith Haring” | Faculty Lecture with Rev. Dr. Justin Sabia-Tanis
DESCRIPTION:Artist Keith Haring used multiple symbols to convey spirituality in his art\, most commonly a series of lines to depict radiance\, which were applied to everything from the Christ child in his nativity to explicit images of sexuality. Angels appear darting about in all kinds of circumstances\, as do crosses\, priests\, and other religious symbols. What does this broad application of holiness to a wide range of subjects tell us about Haring’s understanding of spirituality? \n\n\nHosted in the art gallery of Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church\, this talk by Rev. Dr. Justin Sabia-Tanis will explore Haring’s religious background and his liberated and freeing view of sexuality and spirituality. We will look at examples in the current show\, Keith Haring: Art is for Everybody at the Walker Art Center\, as well as other examples of Haring’s work.\n\n\nRev. Dr. Justin Sabia-Tanis\nAssociate Professor of Christian Ethics and Social Transformation\, Program Director for Social Transformation\nRev. Dr. Justin Sabia-Tanis is an associate professor of Christian ethics and social transformation supported by the McVay Endowment and the director of the Social Transformation program at United Theological Seminary. He earned his PhD from the Graduate Theological Union in Interdisciplinary Studies in addition to a Master of Divinity degree at Harvard Divinity School and a Doctor of Ministry from San Francisco Theological Seminary. \nAs a pastor\, he served congregations in Boston\, Honolulu\, and San Francisco and was Director of Leadership Development for Metropolitan Community Churches; he is now with the United Church of Christ. \nIn his prior work\, he served as Managing Director at the Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion (CLGS) and directed communications for the Hawai’i Equal Rights Marriage Project\, the National Center for Transgender Equality\, and Out & Equal Workplace Advocates. He has taught at the University of Arizona\, Pima Community College\, Iliff School of Theology\, and Pacific School of Religion.
