Conversation Piece: Brighton’s Interfaith Community

Archive Events & Talks (8 March 2021, 2.30pm - 4.00pm)
A relaxed and informative discussion event hosted by artist and researcher Lorenza Ippolito and Interfaith Minister Rev. Anthea Ballam.
Fabrica's summer exhibition, Kiosk by Wolfgang Weileder, is an architectural sculpture that integrates the materials of one religious community (Christian) with the iconography of another (Islamic). These are two of the three monotheistic religions which spread through the Mediterranean. Together with Judaism, these religions have shaped our histories and the way we relate to one another.

Nevertheless, too often we concentrate on the differences between these faiths and not on the connection, similarities and ideas which tie them together. By focusing on our rich cultural diversity, Brighton’s Interfaith community is a hub of learning, appreciation and understanding of the incredible variety of faith in Brighton and how they can aid and support the wider community.

Join artist and researcher Lorenza Ippolito and Interfaith Minister Rev. Anthea Ballam to discuss religious diversity of Brighton and the work of the Brighton & Hove Interfaith Contact Group.

Delivered as part of Fabrica’s PAST:PRESENT:FUTURE project, which is exploring the 200-year history of the gallery - a former church through research, restoration and activities. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
