Can a single color bridge the widening gaps between different faiths?
In short: As religious divisions deepen globally, a social practice art project is using a simple act of cooperation to foster solidarity. This talk explores how painting houses of worship yellow can create a visible message of unity.
Inspired by the work of Yazmany Arboleda, Nabila Alibhai and her colleagues developed "Colour in Faith." This project invites people of different religions to physically paint each other's houses of worship in yellow.
The initiative aims to provide a bold, visible demonstration of commonality in a world of increasing polarization. Alibhai argues that this collaborative act sends a message of human connection that is more powerful than the rhetoric of those seeking to create division.
