Join us for the final event in our series “Reverent Irreverence: Parody, Religion, and Contemporary Politics.”

In the modern culture wars, conservatives often attack feminist and queer art as sacrilegious or obscene. But why does so much religious iconography animate this creative work? And how? This talk looks at the religious and political possibilities of camp as a style of engagement, focusing on the work of artists Ray Navarro and Judy Chicago. It asks: how do the aesthetics of camp challenge dominant ways that we think about religion and religious attachments?

This event is free and open to all, no tickets required. General admission seating—first come, first served. Doors will open at 4:00 p.m. We hope you will join us for a reception immediately following the conversation.
