Exodus | The intersection of U.S. politics and Christianity in times of Migration
Exodus is a commentary on the United States’ ongoing child separation policies, and the use of Christianity to justify such actions. Through the use of historical Christian iconography, Exodus shows the contradictions between the teachings and the actions taking place. This work draws from the Bible’s rich archive of migratory stories, –as well as the church’s own history– which later found its way to the Americas as a means to convert “Savages.”
