University of Michigan professor Dr. Ray Silverman will present a lecture illustrating artistic practices of the church in Ethiopia.
Though religious painting in the Ethiopian church began in the fourth century A.D. and continue to this day, for centuries Ethiopia's Christian art was one of Africa's best kept secrets. Ethiopian Christians hold that their kings were direct descendants of David, the second Hebrew son in the Old Testament; and Judaism is very much a part of their religion. Dr. Silverman will show us how all of this relates to current artistic practices of the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia.
