Let’s Talk: Building A Heaven For Everyone

Can heaven really be a place on earth? How might you “build” heaven on earth, and how might your vision of heaven differ from someone else’s?

Better Angels envisions our best selves for one another and the city by offering up grace where we fall short, in exchange for providing witness to a stranger. Giving someone else grace is a pathway to collective hope – and, in the case of Better Angels, grants you entry into heaven on earth. The artist, Heather Kapplow, will moderate a conversation about how we might construct “heaven” for all with the backdrop of the 250th anniversary of this country’s founding.

Speakers include: Jha D. Amazi, Director of the Public Memory & Memorials Lab at MASS Design Group; Dan McKanan, Ralph Waldo Emerson Unitarian Universalist Association Senior Lecturer in Divinity at Harvard Divinity School; and Neda Moridpour, Assistant Professor of the Practice, SMFA at Tufts University.
