Work and Wonder: The Curators' Interview

A landmark exhibition spanning the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints marks a milestone in the culture's artistic output and appreciation. The 121-work exhibition, Work and Wonder: 200 Years of Latter-day Saint Art, is curated by Heather Belnap, Ashlee Whitaker Evans, and Brontë Hebdon. They join in this wide-ranging conversation about the show's five years of development and the four themes that emerged from their extensive, global research: Memory and Archive, Individual and Church, Sacred Spaces, and Identity. The curators provide fascinating stories about the works in the show, which is at the Church History Museum from the end of September 2024 through the beginning March 2025, organized by the museum and the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts.Liked this episode?
