RAFT 2320 Sexuality in Sacred Art – Justin Tanis (CSR Course)
July 28 - August 1, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Many of the earliest works of art were both sacred and sexual and this connection between the two themes has continued through the ages. Some cultures have used art work to show how sex and the sacred are indistinguishable while others have used it to separate the body and spirit. The ways in which sexuality has been depicted bas had an enormous influence on religious understandings of the body; for example, images of Eve and Mary Magdalene have formed popular ideas of who they were and how sexuality is related to sinfulness and redemption. This class will examine a number of themes related to sexuality in sacred art and explore our understandings of sexuality through creative expression. (Themes: Connections between Sex, Spirit and Art~ Creation and Fertility; Sin and Redemption, Mysticism and Transcendence; The Sexual Body)
