Through all its prophetic imagery, what is happening in the Book of
Revelation, and what does it mean for us today? How do you
artistically represent the Book of Revelation? In this conversation,
InterVarsity Urbana Program Director, Úna Lucey-Lee, and Urbana
Artist in Residence, Leslie Iwai, will discuss the theology behind
and within Hold Fast, an art installation originally commissioned
for InterVarsity’s Urbana 2018 Conference, and how it uniquely
communicates the story of the seven churches from the Book of
Revelation. This event is designed to complement the Hold Fast art
performance on Saturday, November 16 at Upper House for which we
invite you to register here. Lunch will be provided.* Úna Lucey-Lee
is the program director for InterVarsity's Urbana Missions Conference
which exists to mobilize students into serving God’s kingdom around
the world. She has been with InterVarsity for more than 20 years,
starting her career as a campus minister in California. She made the
transition to Urbana back in 2014 after earning a Masters of Divinity
from Fuller Theological Seminary. Additionally, Úna is an ordained
minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church and a contributing author
to the Small Group Leaders’ Handbook. She currently lives in
Madison, Wisconsin. Leslie Iwai is an installation artist and
sculptor. With an undergraduate degree in mathematics and chemistry
from Wayne State College in Nebraska and a Master of Architecture from
Virginia Tech, her work is multidisciplinary and material rich. From
the Midwest, Iwai cut her artistic teeth in Omaha, Nebraska. Leslie
was the first recipient of the Bemis Community Arts Fellowship (2005),
and most recently was the Artist in Residence for Urbana 2018 amongst
many other awards and residencies. She now enjoys living and exploring
Wisconsin with her husband where she makes art, collaborates, and
connects with her local community. *We enjoy extending thoughtful
hospitality to our community. To help offset meal-related costs, we
invite our guests to consider a $10 contribution for lunch on the day
of the event. We are grateful for your support of Upper House
programming and hospitality.
