Details of the themes
We have far more in common with each other than that which divides us.
We are all different, and all religions are different – but are we all the same too? Can we all be united? What holds humanity together? Is it faith? Hope? Love? Music? What threatens to tear us apart? How can we overcome the divisions that affect us? Make a work of art that shows what unites us, brings us together, joins humans as one people and expresses our harmony.
God's good earth? - Beautiful World, Wonderful God
Are we spoiling God’s good earth? Does the Earth belong to God? Should we be thankful for it? Can we save it in time from the threats of climate change? The beauty of the earth is celebrated in many religions, but the human spoiling of the earth is a danger and a coming crisis. In this theme, learners are invited to show their ideas and beliefs about the natural world, human responsibility for the earth and ways of praying about climate justice.
Where is God?
Where’s God? In your heart? In prayer? In the temple or the universe? Or is she hiding? Is he not there at all? Unreal? Imaginary? Looking for God, searching for him or her, matters to many, but how are we doing in finding God? Would you search with google or a ‘god-detector’? Is God on Instagram or WhatsApp? Can God be found by prayer or by looking among the world’s suffering people? Show us in your artwork how you connect with God.
Healing
Do you believe in healing? Religions love to tell stories of healing, of body, mind and spirit. But not everyone gets healed. And anyway, maybe having our minds or souls healed is more important than bodily healing. Make a work of art that explores a story of healing, or the whole idea.
Inspiring
What inspires you? A song? A quote? Another person’s life? A place? Religion offers people inspiration to live. Sometimes an inspirational life, a person’s example, a text or a piece of music crystallizes our inspiration. What inspires you, from your own religion, other faiths or your own world view. Show us this in your artwork.
