Act of Faith on show in Belgium

Act of Faith, Noorderlicht's main exhibition from the 2007 Photofestival will be on show from 5 March through 16 May at the Abdijmuseum Ten Duinen in Koksijde, Belgium. The exhibition Act of Faith deals with the question what role religion plays in our daily lifes. Is faith permissible? Or is faith compulsory? How sacred is the line separating church and state today, long the unquestioned foundation of Western democracy? How firm is the theory of evolution? How conceivable is unbelief? view Act of Faith David Farrell © Abdijmuseum Ten Duinen 5 March - 16 May 2010 www.tenduinen.be
