On July 5, Dr. Pavlína Kašparová presented a talk at the Faraday Institute Summer Course 2024. The course included expert speakers from diverse disciplines to address the topic of art and science of human health and spirituality.
Pavlína’s talk explored the integral role of healing in the creative process, especially in visual art. Grounded in a transdisciplinary approach that combines theology, visual arts, and cognitive science, Pavlina's recent research investigates how Christian artists materialise their spiritual and religious experiences through their work.
Pavlína’s talk focused on how the act of creation itself serves as a form of spiritual healing and narrative construction. This understanding contributes to broader discussions on the interplay between personal beliefs, cultural influences, and creative expression, ultimately enriching the dialogue within science-engaged theology and the construction of narratives in science and religion.
