The Mary Initiative recognises the importance of the role that art plays in conflict, peace building and reconciliation. Workshops focused around art help people come together in non-threatening ways.

A Film by Christine Durrant


What do you see?  Look closely..... 

Unique images created by artist and film maker, Christine Durrant, challenge us to look more
closely at life and those around us.  Her images and film, 'Sharing Mary' form the
basis of a unique two-part cross cultural workshop on how the reflections of others permeate our lives in subtle ways without us even knowing or giving them permission
- or do we?

‘The Mary drawings were initially sketched during conversations with women from different cultural backgrounds' Inspired by the Mary Initiative, this film offers new pathways to
bridging
cultural divides through Mary’s transcendence of differing religions through  Christine's unique perspective and looks at how Mary's universal qualities are both perceived and reflective within the role of women today.  As with life itself, this film study is ‘a work in progress’.
