Wouldn’t it be amazing, we thought, if we could find a way to bring to Greenbelt the best artistry, activism and belief from anywhere on the planet, without also bringing the tonnes of carbon that comes with it? That’s why we’re so thrilled to present... 🧵

The religious right is not the whole story. A while ago I wrote an essay about the links between faith, utopian activism & literature in American culture. It’s out now in Sheryl Vint’s new Cambridge Companion 🙏 #faith #fiction #jamesbaldwin #tonimorrison #marilynnerobinson

All art is political: even, and often especially, art which claims not to be. That doesn’t mean the art speaks directly to a particular politics, simply that it’s made by a person and every person is partly a product of the political climate they became an artist and make art in.
