Beloved Community Communications Team
Artist-in-Residence Team member Maura Williams sat down with Marcus Young to talk about his unique approach to art, his expressions of art, and his offerings at Unity as the congregation’s 2020-2021 Artist-in-Residence.
Marcus describes himself as a behavioral and social practice artist because he wanted to explore living his life as art and to “lead an artful life.” Art isn’t relegated just to theaters and museums but happens in churches and other places. It can be about the everyday, like drinking from a teacup—these things can be material for art. Art is entwined with our daily life. Tune in to this 13-minute interview on YouTube to hear from the talented Marcus Young himself.
The Artist-in-Residence Program at Unity Church seeks to cultivate generative relationships between the church and creatives across diverse art forms, to undertake a period of focused work that amplifies the congregation's vision of becoming a multicultural, antiracist Beloved Community.
