Bonhoeffer in Harlem: Art Meditation in the Church of the Redeemer
When everyday life becomes quieter for a moment, the Church of the Redeemer in Bamberg opens up space for a special religious experience: At A Quarter of an Hour of Art, the contemporary work Bonhoeffer in Harlem by John Young is at the center of a focused art meditation.
Experience Art in the Church Space
This autumn evening format combines contemporary art, spirituality, and communal reflection. In the atmosphere of the Church of the Redeemer, the gaze is directed at a single work of art, opening up access to questions of faith, responsibility, and human existence.
A Brief Timeout with Spiritual Depth
The approximately fifteen-minute meditation invites participants to calm down and consciously perceive the church space. Liturgical sensitivity, religious imagery, and direct engagement with art create a quiet experience of faith in the midst of the evening.
Ecumenical Collaboration in Bamberg
The series is organized in cooperation with HA Art and Culture of the Archdiocese of Bamberg, the Protestant Deanery Bamberg, and the Catholic Pastoral Area of Bamberger Westen. The different confessional perspectives make A Quarter of an Hour of Art an inviting place for dialogue and spiritual community.
Part of the Series A Quarter of an Hour of Art
The work of John Young will be viewed on Wednesdays in the Church of the Redeemer. The series takes place on several weekdays in Bamberg churches, each highlighting a contemporary artwork. As a complementary offer, the 5x15 Art Pilgrimage through Bamberg churches is planned for October 17, 2026.
The event is aimed at believers, art enthusiasts, and everyone looking for a brief, mindful interruption with religious and cultural depth.
