SPIRIT HOUSE
SPIRIT HOUSE invests in and celebrates the richness and abundance of Black religions as they manifest through artistic expression, community building, and scholarly research. The projects gathered here were created by Crossroads Project Fellows (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), the Project Director, and the Associate Research Scholar.
Generously funded by the Henry Luce Foundation and hosted by Princeton University, the Crossroads Project promotes deeper public understanding of Black religious histories, communities, and cultures, emphasizing the diverse landscape of Black religions, reflecting the voices and leadership of those not featured in traditional accounts.
Their offerings include documentary and experimental film, audio stories, digital mapping, oral history interviews, curated digital exhibits, research reports, sound installations, dance, and spoken word performance.
As you move through this site, we invite you to immerse yourself in the vision of our Arts Fellows, the connections drawn by our Community Stories Fellows, and the insight of the narratives of our Research Fellows. Each piece is a window into the creator's larger project. We hope this site serves as a starting point for further journeys toward deeper understandings of Black religions and the ways they have shaped and shape our world.
Projects featured on this site are the intellectual property of the Fellows who created them and may not be reproduced without their permission.
