UNITED KINGDOM - Collaboration was clearly a key to success at last night’s Faith in the City festival, part of a week long celebration of the Abrahamic faiths, hosted by the RED Gallery in London. Here, artists from Christian, Jewish and Muslim backgrounds exhibited artwork exploring common elements in their lifestyles, beliefs and practices. The central focal point of the exhibition was three, multi-faith pieces of artwork exploring common aspects of the religions. Funded by Urban Dialogues, A3 depicts the letter A in Hebrew, Latin and Arabic alphabets. Night/Light explores the symbolism of light through urban associations, and Thresholds shows how religious custom and beliefs are embedded in the design and decoration of buildings. [link]
