How can we thoughtfully and inclusively approach sacred practices, rituals, materials, and traditions within the contemporary art context? How are artists inviting us as curators and as institutions to explore the spiritual issues and contexts that inform their work? Using their own curated exhibitions and projects as case studies, join us for a moderated discussion around what it means to curate at the intersection of art and spirituality. Participating curators: **Amanda Sroka**, curator of *[Speaking in Tongues](https://www.theicala.org/en/exhibitions/666-speaking-in-tongues)* at ICA LA; **Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander**, curator of *[Spirit House](https://museum.stanford.edu/exhibitions/spirit-house)* at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University; **Cara Megan Lewis**, Deputy Director at The Wende Museum and former co-director of Bridge projects; and **Pablo José Ramírez**, curator of *[Several Eternities in a Day](https://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/2026/several-eternities-day-form-age-living-materials)* at the Hammer Museum. Moderator: **Tyler Rollins**, Executive Director, *[Foundation for Spirituality and the Arts](https://fsa.art/)*.
