SACRED spaces, sites & symbols
Shared Sacred Sites collaboratively investigates the sharing of spaces, sites, and symbolism by multiple religious communities that demonstrates the practical choreographies and social possibilities of cooperation between potentially antagonistic communities.
-
The study of such sharing provides key insights into characteristics and features crucial to the cultivation of tolerance and understanding.
-
Using multiple tools such as mapping, storytelling, exhibitions, fieldwork, bibliographies, and a media database, this project seeks to build a global commons for research and teaching on shared sacred sites.
