“Are we alone? Does love survive the death of cells? What do we owe to the memories of one another’s hearts?”—Dario Robleto

“A brilliant study of the wages of mortal love.” —The New York Times Book Review on The Still Point of the Turning World by Emily Rapp Black

Artist Dario Robleto whose work invites us to consider the questions above, is joined in conversation by award winning author Emily Rapp Black whose searing, unblinking story dealing with death and grief combines an essayist’s willingness to lay herself bare on the page, a theologian’s search to plumb the mysteries of life told with a poet’s precision. Together they explore the golden record as the Washington Post described “as both a vessel of science and a leap of faith” Above all what does this effort to communicate mean to us?

This talk coincides with the opening of the SBMA exhibition Dario Robleto: The Signal.
