Sacred

March 2014 Issue 13

In a transitional society like ours, where political forces have instrumentalised religion through the politics of identity, the intelligentsia are justly wary of religious experience. Is it even possible to discuss the sacred as a source of regeneration; to discuss the metaphysical, sublime and subliminal aspects of the sacred? This is the central theme of this issue of TAKE on Art.

TAKE Sacred will reflect critically on the resources of the sacred and the varied interpretations it has received from artists, critics, architects, poets, historians, graphic novelists and sociologists; the focus will be on the visual arts and their relationship to other cultural articulations. The pages that follow are populated by the arguments and stories of artists and writers belonging to all persuasions: atheists, believers and agnostics.
