SUMMARY:City of Faith: Religion\, Activism\, and Urban Space
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Filip Wolak \nCity of Faith: Religion\, Activism\, and Urban Space looks under the surface of New York’s image as a secular city and maps the complex and often surprising relationships that connect religion to public space. The exhibition focuses our attention on how religion engages the city at a public level—in “secular” streets and sidewalks\, waterfronts\, and other liminal spaces. Focusing on South Asian American and other communities who have faced religious profiling and surveillance—particularly after 9/11—the exhibition critically examines the nature of secularism in the city\, how it has historically favored Protestantism while rendering other communities hyper-visible\, and how these latter communities assert their right to the city through transformative art and collective action.
