Ms Monica Lo

Monica Lo | M.A. in Christianity and the Arts from King's College London, Master of Christian Studies from China Graduate School of Theology. Facebook and Instagram page: @preach_art_preach_faith She was once touched by works of art without any knowledge of art. She believes that art has the power to soothe people's hearts; that art is not superior, nor the monopoly of a few rich people or "high class" intellectuals; that all people can enjoy art.

When travelling in Europe, we always make "pilgrimages" to different churches and art museums. Stained glass in Gothic churches, Byzantine gold mosaics, giant mushroom-like Ronchamp may still be in our minds, as well as numerous interpretations of biblical stories by painters/sculptors, but we do not quite understand the content of these. The speaker will share and introduce some concepts of Christian art appreciation based on her own travel experiences.
