An exhibition across Washington, D.C. in 14 iconic destinations
A pilgrimage for art lovers
March 1 - April 16
Experience the Passion
On the day he died, Jesus walked the Via Dolorosa through the streets of Jerusalem. This journey is commemorated by the Stations of the Cross. Across the chasm of two thousand years, this tortured path resonates with current events for people of various faiths and backgrounds. Jesus' words upon the cross, "Why have you forsaken me?" speak acutely to the anguish and alienation felt by many today, from undocumented immigrants to religious, racial and ethnic minorities across our society.
This unique exhibition—held in 14 locations across Washington, D.C. — will use works of art to tell the story of the Passion in a new way, for people of different faiths. The Stations weave through religious as well as secular spaces. In this pilgrimage for art lovers, viewers will travel across the District, from the United Methodist Building adjacent to the Supreme Court, to the National Cathedral. Instead of easy answers, the Stations aim to provoke the passions: artistically, spiritually, and politically.
