Origin: On Mortality Opening Session with Matthew Dickerson

901 S Ervay St,Dallas TX 75201

27 April, 2023

Description

For the opening of this year's ORIGIN series, Art House Dallas is delighted to host author and professor Matthew Dickerson for an evening conversation exploring mortality and vocation through the lens of J.R.R. Tolkien's short story Leaf by Niggle. With so much money and effort invested in attempting to lengthen the span of human life even to the extreme point of one day possibly eliminating death altogether, it is wise to return to simpler questions that remind us of what it means to be human and what it means to flourish in a created world where all things die. What value then does human creativity and art have in the shadow of death and mortality? And further to the point, what does mortality have to do with art and its appreciation?
