Biblical studies. Join us for an informal research cafe and exhibition viewing of Sarah Lightman’s Biblical Women. As part of the Centre for Biblical Studies’ CIDRAL-funded programme of events entitled Encountering Biblical Bodies, we are pleased to host works from artist Sarah Lightman’s Biblical Domestic and Menstrual Hystery series in the Samuel Alexander Glass Corridor. In these paintings, biblical heroines trade halos for housework and divine serenity for the messy reality of ageing bodies, menopause, and domestic labour. On Monday March 16th 4:30–6:30pm there will be an informal research cafe where artist Sarah Lightman will be in in conversation with Dawn Llewellyn (Chester), Holly Morse, and Siobhán Jolley. The exhibition is free to see any time Samuel Alexander building is open but the research cafe conversation must be booked in advance. Get your tickets here.
