'
The Psalms are songs of exile - sung, recited, remembered, prayed, danced and translated across centuries and cultures. They are central to Jewish and Christian traditions, and resonate also with the Islamic tradition of the Zabur. They have inspired music, poetry, sacred art and dance. This is a day that celebrates this plurality: one history reaching out to another, a palimpsest of voices.' – Edmund de Waal
Edmund de Waal curates a day-long immersion in the Psalms as texts of exile, faith and shared human experience. Spanning music, poetry, spoken word, visual art and craft, this multidisciplinary programme celebrates the Psalms’ enduring power across cultures.
Visitors are invited to curate their own journeys through this day-long takeover of the Schwarzman Centre.
