Patty Wickman: Approaching Eden Exhibit
Friday, October 23, 2009, 5:00 PM - Saturday, December 05, 2009, 7:00 PM
In the Judeo-Christian history narrative, the origins of human's relationship with the creator take place with the context of the garden. Within this environment, the consequences of free-will unfold in a drama of devastating consequences. In the exhibition "Approaching Eden" Patty Wickman explores contemporary garden narratives that seek to establish a dialogue and relationship with biblical narratives of the garden as a site of struggle, revelation and redemption.

Filmmakers in Person!
The Reel Spirituality Institute proudly presents two cinematic masterworks on North Korea- Sundance competition documentary KINJONGILIA and award-winning short DEFACE.
KIMJONGILIA is the first film to fully expose North Korea's humanitarian disaster through a tapestry of defectors’stories, North Korean propaganda, and original performance. This feature documentary shows why the defectors fled, describes their hair-raising escapes, and recounts the dangers they face in China, hunted by Chinese as well as North Korean police.
DEFACE tells the dramatic fictionalized story of a man who defaces North Korean propaganda art as an act of rebellion. Filmmakers Kenny Saylors and John Arlotto, will be in attendance with veteran journalist Mark Niu, who has traveled to North Korea twice to conduct field reports.
