The rich diversity of cultural and spiritual influences on women in the Bay Area are revealed in One World, Many Faiths, an exhibition of multi-cultural altars by 20 female artists. Women are being featured in the exhibition because they have traditionally been discounted in the major religions. The altar form has been used in many cultures to honor that which holds reverence and meaning. Each artist interprets that for herself. Artists include Faiza Ali, Suha Araj, Ann Belden, Melanie Bien, Terese Bravo, Carla Caletti, Carol Cano, Wendy Cheng, Karen Caraway, Jan Eldridge, Beth Grossman, Kay Kang, Corinne Innis, Amy Lam, Nikki Lastreto, Jennifer Zenovia Limberakis, Patricia Rodriguez, Eleanor Ruckman, Amy Tobin and ShadiYousefian. Curated by San Francisco Artist Carla Caletti, One World, Many Faiths has been inspired in part by the climate of fear and racism that is prevalent in our country. The intent of the show is to inspire respect and acceptance for the worldwide diversity of religious practices, spiritual paths and cultural stories. It is also about honoring the value of connecting to what is important to each of us individually. Thank you to the artists for their work and to SomARTS Gallery for their support in providing us the Gallery. Also, thank you to all of the people who believed this show was a worthy effort and helped bring it into form. —
