For support for the Shared Sacred Sites project
Date
Jun. 14, 2018
Duration
12 months
Description
Sacred religious sites that are shared by two or more groups have long been a source of intellectual and scholarly curiosity. The Shared Sacred Sites project is a traveling exhibition that focuses on periods of peaceful coexistence at holy sites, and includes films and photographs of sites, pilgrims, and practices, as well as contemporary artwork. In 2015, the first exhibition was presented at the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations in Marseille and met with wide acclaim. In 2017, Carnegie Corporation provided support to expand the project’s presentation and research at its three New York City venues. Further Corporation support will enable the curators to create and publish a catalog about the exhibit, including materials from the New York Public Library and Morgan Libraries, as well as scholarly articles from experts in the field. Capturing the essays and imagery of the exhibit in a publication will expand its impact beyond the exhibition time period and location and encourage a larger audience to engage in conversations about tolerance and coexistence among religious groups.
