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
[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hold-fast-an-art-experience-tickets-64444983681].
Lunch will be provided.*
