Art in the Side Chapel

Step into the Side Chapel and immerse yourself in a thought-provoking collection of art curated by the Revd Dr Ayla Lepine. These temporary exhibitions invite visitors to reflect on the transformative power of creativity and faith through the lens of intersectionality.

Intersectionality—a term rooted in the overlapping and interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, gender, class, and sexuality—serves as a guiding principle for this display. The works explore how our diverse identities intersect to shape the human experience and our understanding of the divine.

From contemporary pieces to historical artifacts, the collection bridges past and present, offering a space for dialogue on justice, inclusion, and belonging. Each work has been carefully chosen to challenge, inspire, and illuminate how art can hold the complexities of who we are while pointing toward shared hope and unity.

Whether you come to pause, pray, or ponder, this exhibition invites you to see yourself and the world anew—through the intricate, layered stories that unfold in each piece.
