Spring Symposium: Celebrating Eight Years of Collaborative Work with the Center for Religion & Cities

Join us as we celebrate eight years of work in Baltimore! Explore ways to build a more just city through reflection, dreaming, sharing, and action. The Center for Religion and Cities (CRC) was founded in 2018 as a group of researchers, students, community leaders, and other partners dedicated to cultivating an ecological understanding of pressing issues related to religion and cities. After eight years of collaborative inquiry, we invite all who have been involved in CRC activities over the years to join us this coming spring.

Guided by lessons learned, this symposium provides a space to collectively explore how the quality of our lives and labor improve through the relational and iterative ways we move through change. In this spirit, we will reflect upon how the CRC has impacted the ways we understand our vital endeavors– the work of critiquing inequities, imagining better futures, and bringing to life visions for a beloved community– for a more just city. Rather than anticipating any sense of completion, this gathering aims to sustain an ongoing flow between: [1] reflective stillness, [2] hopeful dreaming, [3] intentional sharing+listening, and [4] visions for future collaborative action.

This event is free with breakfast and lunch provided.

A former painting and art educator, Baltimore based Fiber artist Jennifer McBrien, TU '85, now draws with her sewing machine.

McBrien intertwines freehand machine and hand stitching to create evocative portrayals of women, birds, and hybrid figures, often featuring female bodies with bird heads.
