Peace & Unity Banners

Installation artist Amirra Malak will be creating a backdrop in the chancel of the Fellowship Hall for the World Dance and Rhythm Camp this summer. We have a tiny budget as part of the grant for this project, so the backdrop will be small and temporary. 

 

I am proposing to make this project a more permanent art installation here at Englewood Christian Church exploring peace, unity and inclusiveness. Our world is faced with war abroad and hatred and intolerance here at home. It would be a good time to reestablish our mission here at Englewood as we did in 2007 when we erected the Peace Pole. As well as being a beautiful statement for peace and unity. The backdrop would also help hide some of the clutter that sits in the chancel. 

 

Amirra Malak is an Egyptian American artist living in Oregon who inhabits the space between cultures, countries, geographies, and identities. She is interested in using light, pattern, movement, time, sound, and visual sensation to create meditative healing experiences. She is currently exploring bridging past and future through the combination of ancient craft and modern technologies in textile installations, inspired by Egyptian Khayamiya tent applique. Amirra shows often at Maryshill Museum, and the Portland Art Gallery. She has designed theater backdrops for Tony award winning Director Rachel Harry, in a play exploring religion and culture in America. Amirra is part of the prayer, movement and meditation group here at Englewood where she participates on-line from her home in Oregon.

 

The cost of an instillation will be $2,000.  If you would like to donate to this project you can do so online at our webpage. Click on the giving button and scroll to “Peace & Unity Banner” Here You may also bring your gift to the office. Donations need to be submitted by April 8.
