New publication! The exhibition “Between Heaven and War: Art and Religion in the Interbellum” is accompanied by a beautiful book (in Dutch), for which I got to write two chapters.

on Amsterdam Avenue stands the impressive cathedral of St John the Divine. with a.o. a Keith Haring triptych, a hugely overwhelming nave and an icon for victims of gun violence. #NYC

a couple of years ago I stumbled upon this gem in the museum depot. today I got to record an audiostop about this work and its painter, Mariette Lydis. all part of an upcoming exhibit on art and religion in the interbellum, in the Catharijneconvent. #lookingforward

very proud of this one. my essay on “Mary Magdalene as patron saint of feminist politics and theology” is now published online in this fab Oxford Handbook of Mary Magdalene. Humbled to be in the presence of all these fantastic scholars. academic.oup.com/edited-volum...
