Sacrifice: An Evening of Interfaith Dialogue and Art
When: Wednesday, August 22, 2018 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Where: E-Building, Atrium
In commemoration of the Muslim holiday of Eid Al Adha, join us for an interfaith dialogue on how the Muslim holiday centers around a tradition found in monotheistic religions across the globe and how we can apply elements of the story surrounding sacrifice and family to today’s climate. This discussion will be accompanied by an interfaith exhibit commissioned by GAMA New York (Gathering All Muslim Artists): an exploration into the Abrahimic narrative through interconnected perspectives of the faiths stemming therefrom. Dinner will be served following the discussion.
