SUMMARY:Chester Higgins Photography Exhibit ‘The Intimacy of Prayer’
DESCRIPTION:With his camera\, Chester Higgins “wrestles with issues of memory\, place\, and identity.” He sees his life as a narrative and his photography as its expression. His art gives visual voice to his personal and collective memories. It is inside ordinary moments where he finds windows into larger meaning. Light\, perspective\, and points in time are the pivotal elements he uses to reveal an interior presence within his subjects as he searches for what he identifies as the Signature of the Spirit. The work of Chester Higgins challenges us to see the full breadth of our humanity. \nThrough his portraits and studies of living rituals\, traditional ceremonies\, and the monuments and ruins of ancient civilizations\, viewers gain a rare insight into cultural behavior—a window to another place and time. \nThese images featured in Butler Gallery were taken in the United States\, Africa\, and the MENA region. \nHiggins was recently honored with his induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame. In 2014 he retired from The New York Times as a staff photographer after 38 years of contributing images to the paper. \nTo contact the Refuge Gallery: refugegallery@fordham.edu.

SUMMARY:'Wartime Beauty' at Refuge Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Step into the Refuge Gallery to view Mariupol Deisis (2022)\, a striking series of 11 icons from Atlantova and Klymenko’s Icons on Ammo Boxes project. The “Wartime Beauty” exhibition is a collaboration between the Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery. \nThe Refuge Gallery is open during regular business hours Monday-Thursday. Please ring the institute’s bell to enter the building. Guided tours are available upon request at schapnin@fordham.edu of The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC). \n“Wartime Beauty“\nThe Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC) has unveiled a milestone exhibition\, “Wartime Beauty\,” marking a historic moment for contemporary Christian art from Ukraine. Curated by Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibition presents recent works by Ukrainian iconographers Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, highlighting unique blend of traditional iconography in a modern context. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration between The Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery and signifies a shared commitment to exploring contemporary interpretations of Christian art and supporting the Ukrainian people in their quest for freedom and independence. At the heart of the exhibition is Mariupol Deisis (2022)\, a striking series of 11 icons from Atlantova and Klymenko’s Icons on Ammo Boxes project. \nChapnin explains\, “Their work departs from certain Byzantine iconographic conventions\, not as a rejection\, but as a bold reimagining of Eastern Orthodox tradition\, reminding us of the enduring desire for beauty that resonates with prayer.” The artists encourage viewers to look beyond the rough\, unrefined wood of the ammo boxes\, signaling that the spiritual authenticity of their work emerges through each viewer’s perception. \nSince its inception amid Ukraine’s struggle in 2014\, Icons on Ammo Boxes has reshaped how sacred art\naddresses themes of suffering and resilience. In a time of conflict\, holy icons—traditional symbols of holiness and the communion of saints in the Orthodox Christian tradition—reflect the fractures of war yet continue to declare the abiding presence of God\, His Holy Mother\, and the Saints alongside human anguish. \n“It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\,” said Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibit’s curator. \nThis exhibition not only celebrates the collaboration between OCSC and The Refuge Gallery but also sets a foundation for future explorations of Christian art in a changing world. Sergei Chapnin noted\, “It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\, as well as audiences in other U.S. cities and universities.” \n

SUMMARY:“Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India”
DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, Siona Benjamin\, an intercultural artist born in India to a Bene Israel Jewish community\, returned to her country of birth on a Fulbright India-US fellowship. During her stay\, she traveled across the country\, conducting research and interviewing Jews in India. “Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India” brings to Fordham several pieces from Siona Benjamin’s series of photo-collage paintings\, “Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives.” These pieces serve as anchors that link the present and the past. Around Siona Benjamin’s art are photographs taken by the artist’s parents and family members. In the 1950s\, Siona Benjamin’s parents\, Judah and Sophie Benjamin\, traveled across India photographing synagogues and houses of prayer\, capturing the range and diversity of the Indian Jewish community: from splendid metropolitan synagogues to small rural prayer halls. The cache of photographs in Siona Benjamin’s possession thus documents an aspect of Jewish history\, now threatened by oblivion. \nLike Siona Benjamin’s art\, some of the old family photographs underscore how much the life and culture of Jews in India were very much of India. Henna\, saris\, glass lamps of synagogue lights meld with modern suits and classic fedoras becoming one. Indian and Jewish\, traditional and modern–all form a distinct Indian Jewish identity. \nThe exhibit was made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Jewish Art Fund at Fordham University and was curated by Amy Levine-Kennedy\, Mallory Roof FCRH ‘26\, and Magda Teter. It will be on view from January 30 until March 28\, 2025 in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room on the 4th floor of the Walsh Family Library.
