Who Am I to Answer the Call? A Conversation with Exodus 3 and Go Down Moses

When Moses goes to investigate a burning bush in Exodus 3, he hardly expects to encounter the divine, let alone have a conversation with God.  He's not sure that he is the right person or that he wants this responsibility to lead his community, but he accepts it. As the famous spiritual Go Down Moses hints, fate calls many of us to do the extraordinary. Who Am I to Answer the Call? Artists in the 2024-2025 Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts program will explore traditions around Exodus 3 and Go Down Moses and respond with their own works of creative debate.

The exhibition will be on view at the Harrison Center, 1505 N. Delaware St., from May 2 to 26, 2025.
