Artist, Terry Wilson Shares the Risk Taken by Black Christ in Indianapolis

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB

INDIANA---Join the dialogue about "Jesus Wept." Why is it so talked about? There is it's large size; the three-dimensionality; and the use of objects found in nature; but a Lebanese visitor vocalized the truth out loud: "He's Black" she said joyfully. Wilson's multimedia work, "Jesus Wept" is an example of the risks we face with religion when we experience it outside our comfort zone, and it's now on display this November as part of "Alpha & Omega: Religious Risks" at Indiana Interchurch Center, 1100 West 42nd Street in Indianapolis, a program of the 2013 Spirit & Place Festival.

You can thank Terry, and the other artists for taking a risk with religious imagination, by making a gift to the Alpha Omega Prize: Artist Fund via power2give.org.
