Claire and Rachel caught up with Arts students Mo Hickman and Freeman Lam to discuss their Integrative Projects in the Arts and Theology (IPIAT). Freeman and Mo reflect on the integration of arts and theology in their respective projects, share detailed insights from their creative work and academic reflections, and recall the gifts and joys of being part of the Arts community at Regent. Mo has written and will perform a spoken word piece, while Freeman has created three spectacular robes that will be displayed in the Dal Schindell Gallery later this spring. Listen in to find out more about the theological significance of their art!

Bio

Her final project is a "Word and Kitchen Table Party" inspired by her research on preaching through spoken word poetry. She is Canadian and has moved from coast to coast. She serves as the Associate Pastor of Creative Community at Vancouver First Church of the Nazarene. Mo is passionate about offering a hopeful story to a hurting world.

Freeman Lam is a Canadian-born Chinese artist who works mainly with textiles, exploring Traditional Chinese designs and aesthetics in contemporary fashion.
