| Summary: | 'Immaculate Misconceptions' begins with this claim to challenge how Christian thinking of salvation, possibility, and identity are challenged when we rethink assumptions about race, gender, and divine significance through the lens of the Virgin Mary, and specifically, through a return to the Black Madonna. A layered journey is offered through art, theology, and culture to consider a theology arising from the condition of the Black Mother, a theology following the condition of the Black Madonna, a theology for the consideration of all those who pursue justice and life at the spiritual intersections of the world, questioning the 'legislative doctrine' around our perceptions of Mary as the mother of God, and extending conversations forward to consider the what else of life. |
