Bridge Projects: Here After Catalog
Here After Catalog is now available!
Hope for paradise has sparked the imagination of humankind across history and many religions. Here After is a group exhibition featuring artworks that delve into this imagination, exploring various religious or metaphysical positions, suppositions, or questions.
From Pure Land Buddhism’s chant “Namu Amida Butsu” (“I take refuge in Amida Buddha”) to Christianity’s prayer for the Kingdom to be “on earth as it is in heaven,” the concepts of paradise are as diverse as those who hope for it. For millennia, artists have been depicting the various contours of this hope, and their work continues, informing the contemporary artists featured in Here After.
