WONDER
What are we here for?
How can we make sense of life?
What role does faith play in finding meaning?
Can the arts illuminate these big questions?
Over six Tuesday evenings at the Tufnell Park Tavern we’ll be exploring faith and the meaning of life through the lens of the arts.
Free entry - 7.30pm start; talk at 8pm, followed by discussion and Q&A; all done by 9pm.
All welcome - no specialist knowledge of faith or art needed.
