Ep 40 - But, Why? An Introduction to Surrealism
Listen to this episode
Summary
When an art movement born of Dada, post WWI depression, and Sigmund Freud comes on the scene.... What did you really expect? Join BYWAP for this mini picnic of lucid dreaming and furry teacups. Together, we'll explore the deeply troubling thoughts of artists like Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, and so many others—as well as take inspiration from the techniques they developed to make this uncanny art. Find out how Surrealism took root in 20th century Paris through the form of manifests and creative types; contemplate quietly the art that you could create if you did a lot of deep breathing, randomly rubbed graphite on random pieces of paper, and channeled your weirdest dreams; find joy in your hearts the way that the Sims brings joy to our hearts; remain unsurprised that anarchists and communists co-signed their beliefs into an art style that had no gods nor kings; and bring a Surrealist object and new wealth of Art Historical knowledge to your upcoming ZOOM family holiday group call. Care to join us in some weird art making? Using this list from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Unframed, pick a Surrealist technique and create something with it.

Bet You Didn't Know This Was In the Bible
Release Date: 10/18/2022
Description: There’s likely a challenge for everyone in this podcast. I go through some of the Laws of G-d that our society still uses today, and some that we probably should pay more attention to. I also discuss where we find some of the spiritually legal precedent for calling out the medical bigotry that we’ve seen in the last few years as well as the place where G-d actually calls us to love our enemies. In the Law. That’s right. It was there all along. We have every reason to be confident in our beliefs and our moral stands against the worship of cultural relevance in the Church. And now, maybe you’ll see right where these ideas are delineated in Scripture!The Spiritual Exercises is a reader-supported publication.
