Art As Witness is an invitation for professors, researchers,
clergy, educators, students, and activists to creatively integrate
the arts in theology and religious studies for a practical theology
of arts-based research that prioritizes public witness. This
methodology challenges the traditional written word as being the
privileged norm, arguing that this emerging research genre is an
excellent, viable, and necessary option for research that supports,
promotes, and publicizes liberating theology for the marginalized,
victimized, and oppressed. It includes a detailed case study of
"Art Inside Karnes," the all-volunteer arts-based ministry of
presence the author facilitated inside a for-profit immigrant
family detention center that became the Power of Hope traveling art
exhibit for education, advocacy, and public witness. This primer
covers practical ethical, legal, and political matters; includes
pedagogical examples for how to use arts-based research for student
assessment in theology and religious studies; and provides an
overview of arts options, including literary genres, visual arts,
fabric arts, theater, filmmaking, and new media with digital
content. Art as Witness features 40 illustrations, several case
studies, and multiple contributing theologian-artists who engage
the arts in themes that include immigration, HIV/AIDS, biblical
studies, political protest, gender equity, gun law reform, racial
justice, and more.
