Re-Echo Arts and Resurrection Philadelphia are thrilled to announce
Presence and Mystery: a Re:Echo Symposium on Art and Flourishing
Join philosopher James K.A. Smith, theologian Natalie Carnes, filmmaker Ben Stamper, and film historian Joe Kickasola for an inspiring exploration of the surprising relationship between art and mysticism; unknowing as spiritual and creative practice; and how the embrace of mystery restores us to the world — a re-enchantment vital to our formation and flourishing.
These stimulating lectures and discussions expand on themes at the heart of Re:Echo’s 2026 project, The Aesthetics of Shalom.
Presence and Mystery will also include the premiere of a new film by Ben Stamper, the inaugural Re:Echo Journal Literary Salon, and the release concert for The Divine Dark – Vol. II. Finally, Re:Echo artists will provide guided tours through the rich and unique arts offerings of Philadelphia.
Makers of all kinds, thinkers, art-lovers, or simply the art-curious: all are warmly invited!
