Conference

Beauty and Faith: Part One: Imperfect Beauty: Visions of Fractured Faith

24-26 October, 2025

Salmagundi Club along with a special visit to the Met Cloisters, New York City

Visual Theology’s third event is a major two-part conference, the first of which will take place in New York City, 24-26 October 2025 at the Salmagundi Club along with a special visit to the Met Cloisters, New York City. The second part will take place in the UK, 8-10 May 2026. (Further details forthcoming.)

Part One: Imperfect Beauty: Visions of Fractured Faith will use the history and material culture of the Met Cloisters as a starting point for conversations about the space between brokenness and beauty, and to consider how art, in its many forms, can replant, remake, and reaffirm Christian truth, even when the results demonstrate synchronic anxieties between the past and the present, and faith and fragmentation. 

Keynotes: Julia Yost (First Things, NYC) and Dr. Tracy Chapman Hamilton (Sweet Briar College), and artists Anthony Visco and Maya Brodsky
