The Big Ideas: Ritual and Redemption
In this moment of unprecedented change, our desire for revelatory insights is stronger than ever before. Art as ritual—striving for the sublime through the creative process—can be a pathway to redemption, leading to the transformative experience that we so desperately crave. These are artists who embrace the ritualized power of performance. They invite us into their process and take us to a deeply imaginative place, one that we don’t access often enough in our overscheduled lives. Their desire—and ours—is not simply knowledge or awareness, but experience and enlightenment.
