Imagining Grace is a performance-oriented installation of wellness and contemplation inspired by the work of St. Katharine Drexel and the words of Toni Morrison in recognition of Women\u2019s History Month, presented by Xavier's Women\u2019s Studies Program, Performance Studies Laboratory (PSL), and Department of Art & Performance Studies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We've heard a lot about \"breakthroughs\" over the last year, in contexts that are often alarming. That's why it's so refreshing to get news of a different and thoroughly beneficial kind of breakthrough on our campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm talking about Imagining Grace<\/em>, of course. You've heard of it by now, I'm sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To call it an art installation might miss the point. It is artful, to be sure, but moreover it's an invitation to participate, to immerse oneself, to chill, to simply be. I call it a breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't know what I'm talking about, stop by the Administration Building Art Gallery at your next opportunity and experience it for yourself. Moreover, I urge you to allow yourself a little time for that experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Robin Vander says the space is there for everyone \"to make it what they need.\" So you can sit in silence, you can meet a colleague, you can meet a student, and so forth. There's no right or wrong way, but here are a few pro tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
