Speaker: Hugh Taft-Morales
For thousands of years, humans have created statues in their own image. Artists have carved marble, forged metal, and sculpted clay to depict people as beautiful, heroic, or infamous. What purposes do these sculptures serve as cultural symbols and historical markers? How do they make life meaningful? Hugh draws on insights from his conversations with sculptor Zenos Frudakis to shed light on this very human activity. Hugh Taft-Morales is Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society, a humanist community dedicated to honoring the worth and dignity of every human being, cultivating character, nurturing ethical relationships and caring networks, building community capacity, and social justice.
