RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB

FORTY DAYS of Lent began this week, and so did the chance to begin seeing the world in a very new way. The Vatican's collection of works from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas is now on display at the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco and it celebrates multiple paths to spirituality including Tu and Tupo and Aztec traditions. That's why "Objects of Belief from the Vatican: Art of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas" is my NEWS OF WEEK.
