Dusk to Dusk: Captured Conversations

This exhibit, which examined 鈥渋ndividual isolation, political repression and collective ennui during the decline of the industrial age,鈥� elicited a range of responses from visitors. Dr. Patrice Rankine, dean of arts and humanities, collected and curated some of these responses in the audio series 鈥淐aptured Conversations.鈥� Faculty were asked to reflect on the work, and Rankine extended a similar invitation to students and staff.

At the heart of the recordings is 熊猫在线视频鈥檚 dual mission of being a high-caliber academic institution and also distinctly Christian. Each faculty member brings their disciplinary perspectives to the art as well as their faith, and the conversations reflect both. Given the historical moment reflected in the exhibit, the question of how we, as a Christian community, engage with and respond to an exhibit that might seem to some to depict a bleak and hopeless worldview is central to this exercise.

Each respondent was asked to consider three issues:

• Philosophical underpinning: How do you feel about the work? Does it trigger any reflections about God or a perceived absence?
• The human: What commentary does the work offer on gender, race, class, or other aspects of current historical realities?
• Disciplinary lenses: How do you view the work as a philosopher, theologian, sociologist, and so on?
