This delicate rendering shows two alternate designs for a church façade. Rendered by an anonymous artist, this ink on paper drawing leaves us to imagine its original cultural context. The architecture evokes a historical moment steeped in religious symbolism. It invites us to consider the power dynamics inherent in religious spaces – who is welcomed, and whose stories are told? The use of classical motifs might remind us of the gendered nature of power, often represented through male figures. As you stand here, consider what the buildings we construct say about our values. How do they shape our sense of community and identity, and who gets to decide what those values are? Take a moment to consider who is included and who is excluded.
