Global Images of Christ: Challenging Perceptions at Chester Cathedral

My latest article for Church Times is an interview with the Dean of Chester Cathedral on their current exhibition Global Images of Christ: Challenging Perceptions, an exhibition that is about diversity in art:

“GLOBAL Images of Christ: Challenging Perceptions” is “a great mosaic of images from around the world”, the Dean of Chester, the Very Revd Dr Tim Stratford, says.

The exhibition, made up of more than 50 paintings, African and Chinese sculptures, and orthodox icons, seeks to challenge the Western depiction of Jesus Christ and his followers. The Dean says: “We are very familiar with pictures of Jesus Christ cast in our Western European image. This exhibition helps us see him through the eyes of other cultures, enlarging our understanding of God.”
