Artistic Theology Lab

The Artistic Theology Lab is founded by theologian – artist Sander Vloebergs. It aims to create an inspiring work environment where religious, academic and artistic communities can meet. The Lab is a place to explore the relationship between theology and the arts, especially between dance and mysticism.

This academic and religious art project proposes a collaboration between artists, religious institutions, and academics (theologians, philosophers, (art) historians and literary scholars). Using practice-as-research methodologies, the lab produces art works and academic reflections that aim to innovate the fields of theology and artistic research. This practice generates a network of people. The Lab’s projects, supervised by Sander, represent concrete encounters between stakeholders that belong to the three different communities.
