Join UCCS Faculty to engage in a conversation at the “Intersection of Race and Religion” to feature four panelists discussing the complex relationship between two of our most polarizing, yet important aspects of societies. From the ways in which religion has been used to perpetuate racial superiority to the ways in which religion has been used to fight for racial equality, it is clear that the two intersect with each other in dynamic, if not often troubling ways. Our panelists will comment on these and other more nuanced facets of the association between race and religion with special attention paid to our current moment of racial reckoning occurring in the United States.
The galleries under the Colorado Ave. bridge are collectively the studio of Jana Bussanich, The Bridge Gallery, and the Alvarez Gallery and Art School. During First Friday there will be contemporary fine art, watercolor, oil, mixed media, photography, and sculpture.
