Abstract or Description

*FILMED EVENT: Video footage begins at 5:00 minutes in*

Our first Make Good Lecture of the term with Jorella Andrews (Head of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University) and James K.A. Smith (Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University). Jorella and James in conversation with Morphe co-director, Alastair Gordon speaking on the subject 'Material Futures: How does an embodied vision of the new creation cultivate our imagination in these times.

In the past six months the creative arts have suffered greatly as a result of the current crisis. With galleries, theatres and venues forced into hibernation many are still finding it hard to recover and we are grieving their absence. If the Arts offer a generative vision of a better future how might we navigate these times to bring imaginative hope to culture?

In this conversation we hear from two leading academics working in the fields of art, philosophy and theology, with a shared interest in the study of phenomenology. We discuss the importance of imaginative thinking as we reconsider how society is perceived, structured and built. With a uniquely Christian vision of the new creation, we ask how an embodied spirituality offers hope for the years ahead.
