Using the themes of Cave, Rest, Journey, and Tightrope, we want to showcase how art highlights the deep differences that remain in healthcare along racial and economic lines. Mental health needs are more widely acknowledged than ever before, yet solutions and treatments remain elusive amidst an epidemic of loneliness. What does it take to bring healing and hope to such a tragic situation? How does a Christian witness relate to justice in healthcare? How might healthcare professionals work for change in this arena while avoiding the ironically unhealthy outcome of burnout? For those outside of the healthcare industry, what is our role in living a healthy lifestyle and in encouraging a more just healthcare policy? Join us as we discuss these topics and more.
The Bridge Gallery is a space for visual, theological, and cultural dialogue. Artists present concepts and questions through a variety of mediums, addressing the topics of our times. The expressions presented at the Bridge Gallery are not necessarily reflective of the theological or philosophical stances of Denver Seminary yet represent the human struggle towards truth and meaning. The mission of the Bridge Gallery is to prepare Denver Seminary students and the public to engage the world through contemporary art."

To me, Sjöö's work embodies everything I want to accomplish (and will fail to accomplish) in a lifetime. I read her book early in my academic journey... stumbled upon her The Great Cosmic Mother and absolutely could not put it down (and probably never will). It was the basis of my exploration throughout my Capstone and has been a guiding text during in key feminist moments in my life. I consider myself a world traveler and throughout these journeys, Sjöö's research is solidified as the truth to all our great mysteries.
