Art As Witness is a captivating invitation for professors, researchers, clergy, educators, students, and activists to explore the dynamic intersection of arts and theology, paving the way for a practical theology of arts-based research that prioritizes public witness. This innovative methodology challenges the conventional notion of the written word as the sole privileged norm, presenting a compelling argument that this emerging research genre is an excellent, viable, and necessary option for scholars seeking to support, promote, and publicize liberating theology for marginalized, victimized, and oppressed communities.
Within the pages of this primer, readers will find a comprehensive exploration of practical ethical, legal, and political considerations, as well as pedagogical examples showcasing how arts-based research can be effectively employed for student assessment in theology and religious studies. Additionally, the book offers an insightful overview of various arts options, encompassing literary genres, visual arts, fabric arts, theater, filmmaking, and new media with digital content.
Art As Witness is adorned with 40 captivating illustrations, several case studies, and the collaborative contributions of numerous theologian-artists who engage with diverse themes such as immigration, HIV/AIDS, biblical studies, political protest, gender equity, gun law reform, racial justice, and more. Through their artistic expressions, these theologian-artists shed light on the profound ways in which the arts can inspire, challenge, and transform our understanding of faith and society.
By embracing the power of art as a witness, Art As Witness empowers scholars, activists, and community members to engage in creative dialogue, foster empathy, and cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for the marginalized and oppressed. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to integrate the arts into their theological and religious studies, paving the way for a more inclusive, justice-oriented, and transformative approach to scholarship and activism.
