SUMMARY:Aid Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Aid Yoga© is an all-levels yoga class designed to teach students about stretching and relaxation poses and how to use these skills on and off the mat. Yoga is a physical practice that goes beyond teaching students how to move according to their comfort zones. This kind of workout teaches students how to regain control of their breathing\, how to trust themselves\, how to create a safe space\, and how to cope with a stressful event. The purpose of hosting Aid Yoga© at the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) is two fold: to provide a free\, community event that benefits the mind and body of the students while also giving them tools to take with them into the humanitarian field or in life. The class structure will build onto itself and have a theme so that the more classes a student joins\, the more they will advance\, learn\, and improve their practice. No class will be the same. Thank you for your interest\, and I look forward to seeing you in class! \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Sergei Chapnin – Wartime Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Previous Refuge Gallery Exhibits\n					 \nIntroduction and about Refuge Gallery\nThe Refuge Gallery serves as a venue for exhibitions of artistic work relating to humanitarian and social justice issues. Using art as a means to illuminate\, educate and provoke\, the Refuge Gallery seeks to bring the Fordham community closer to the injustices experienced by our fellow global citizens. \nOur vision is to create a stimulating environment encouraging of cultural and artistic inquiry through a social justice lens for our students\, neighbors\, artists\, and the humanitarian sector — not only at the Institute but at Fordham University as a whole. Please email Sergei Chapnin\, Wartime Beauty Curator\, who joins us from The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC)\, for a guided tour of the artwork schapnin@fordham.edu or you may visit the Refuge Gallery for a self-guided tour.  \n							\n														\n							\n														 \nArtist Introductions \nSofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\nThe Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC) has unveiled a milestone exhibition\, Wartime Beauty\, marking a historic moment for contemporary Christian art from Ukraine. Curated by Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibition presents recent works by Ukrainian iconographers Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, highlighting unique blend of traditional iconography in a modern context. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration between The Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery and signifies a shared commitment to exploring contemporary interpretations of Christian art and supporting the Ukrainian people in their quest for freedom and independence. At the heart of the exhibition is Mariupol Deisis (2022)\, a striking series of 11 icons from Atlantova and Klymenko’s Icons on Ammo Boxes project. Chapnin explains\, “Their work departs from certain Byzantine iconographic conventions\, not as a rejection\, but as a bold reimagining of Eastern Orthodox tradition\, reminding us of the enduring desire for beauty that resonates with prayer.” The artists encourage viewers to look beyond the rough\, unrefined wood of the ammo boxes\, signaling that the spiritual authenticity of their work emerges through each viewer’s perception. \nSince its inception amid Ukraine’s struggle in 2014\, Icons on Ammo Boxes has reshaped how sacred art addresses themes of suffering and resilience. In a time of conflict\, holy icons—traditional symbols of holiness and the communion of saints in the Orthodox Christian tradition—reflect the fractures of war yet continue to declare the abiding presence of God\, His Holy Mother\, and the Saints alongside human anguish. \nRunning from November 12\, 2023\, to January 25\, 2025\, at The Refuge Gallery\, this exhibition not only celebrates the collaboration between OCSC and The Refuge Gallery but also sets a foundation for future explorations of Christian art in a changing world.  \nGuided tours are available upon request. \nSergei Chapnin noted\, “It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\, as well as audiences in other U.S. cities and universities.” \nThis exhibit has ended. Please stay tuned for the next show! \nMeet the Artists and Curator of ‘Wartime Beauty’\nIcons on Ammunition Boxes Art Project \nIn 2015\, shortly after the Russian invasion in the Donbas region\, Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, a Ukrainian husband-wife artistic team\, initiated the Icons on Ammo Boxes Art Project. They started to paint sacred images on wooden lids from ammunition boxes left by Russian soldiers on the battlefields in Ukraine\, and sell them to provide funding for mobile hospitals and other charitable projects. Since Russia began the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022\, the project continues to reflect the strong desire of Ukrainians to witness that life (traditionally represented by icons in Eastern Christianity) will inevitably overcome death (symbolized by ammo boxes). \nSofia Atlantova (born in 1981 and based in Kyiv) is an artist and writer. She studied at the Kyiv Shevchenko State Art School and the National Academy of Art and Architecture. Sofia Atlantova works in monumental and easel art\, book illustration\, and installation art. \nOleksandr Klymenko (born in 1976 and based in Kyiv) is an artist\, art critic\, and writer. He graduated from the National Academy of Art and Architecture in 1998 and completed a post-graduate course at the Rylskyi Institute of Art History\, Folklore\, and Ethnography in 2002. He taught at the Kyiv Boychuk State Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design and the High Humanitarian and Theological Courses in Kyiv. Oleksandr Klymenko works in the field of monumental and easel arts.  \nSergei Chapnin (born in 1968 and based in New York since 2022) is a journalist\, publisher\, and curator of contemporary Christian art. A graduate of Moscow State University (1992)\, Chapnin has taught at the Faculty of Theology at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Christian University and served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate until 2015. His expertise in Christian art has led him to curate significant exhibitions across Belarus\, Finland\, France\, and Russia\, where he has contributed to the dialogue on faith\, art\, and modern culture. \nOpening Reception\nEntitled Wartime Beauty\, these paintings were done by Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, a Ukrainian husband-wife artistic team. The Refuge Gallery invites everyone\, including class visits\, to witness the beautiful yet telling story of Ukraine November 2024 – January 2025. \nThe exhibition was curated by Sergei Chapnin\, Faculty of Theology at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Christian University and served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate until 2015. \nVisit Us\nThe Refuge Gallery is open to all for viewing Monday – Thursday 10 am-4pm or by appointment.

SUMMARY:Chester Higgins The Intimacy of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Previous Refuge Gallery Exhibits\n \nThe Refuge Gallery serves as a venue for exhibitions of artistic work relating to humanitarian and social justice issues. Using art as a means to illuminate\, educate and provoke\, the Refuge Gallery seeks to bring the Fordham community closer to the injustices experienced by our fellow global citizens. \nOur vision is to create a stimulating environment encouraging of cultural and artistic inquiry through a social justice lens for our students\, neighbors\, artists\, and the humanitarian sector — not only at the Institute but at Fordham University as a whole.

To contact Refuge Gallery for collaboration\, proposal\, or general inquiry please email refugegallery@fordham.edu. \nArtist Introduction\nChester Higgins\nWith his camera\, CHESTER HIGGINS “wrestles with issues of memory\, place and identity\, he sees his life as a narrative and his photography as its expression. His art gives visual voice to his personal and collective memories. It is inside ordinary moments where he finds windows into larger meaning. Light\, perspective\, and points in time are the pivotal elements he uses to reveal an interior presence within his subjects as he searches for what he identifies as the Signature of the Spirit. The work of Chester Higgins challenges us to see the full breadth of our humanity. Through his portraits and studies of living rituals\, traditional ceremonies and the monuments and ruins of ancient civilizations\, viewers gain a rare insight into cultural behavior — a window to another place and time. \nHiggins is the author of eight collections: Black Woman\, Drums of Life\, Some Time Ago\, Feeling the Spirit: Searching the World for the People of Africa — a comprehensive look at the African Diaspora — and Elder Grace: The Nobility of Aging. His memoir entitled\, Echo of the Spirit: A Photographer’s Journey and illustrated Ancient Nubia: African Kingdoms on the Nile. His most recent book\, Sacred Nile\, explores the ancient migratory route of faith along the River Nile. Higgins photographs have appeared in ArtNews\, New York Times\, Nile Magazine\, Explorers Journal and Archaeology. His work is the topic of two PBS films\, “An American Photographer: Chester Higgins Jr.\,” and “Brotherman” and has been featured on CBS: “Sunday Morning News\,” PBS: “The NewsHour\,” ABC: “Like It Is\,” “Freedom Forum” and CUNY TV “Tony Guida’s New York.” \nHis solo exhibitions have appeared at the International Center of Photography\, The Smithsonian Institution\, The Museum of African Art\, The Museum of Photographic Arts\, The Schomburg Center\, The Newark Museum\, National Civil Rights Museum\, The Field Museum of History\, The New-York Historical Society\, the Windows Gallery/Kimmel Center of New York University\, The Dapper Museum in Paris and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. \nHiggins was recently honored with his induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame. He is the recipient of grants from The Ford Foundation\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the International Center of Photography\, the Open Society Institute\, The National Endowment for the Arts and the Andy Warhol Foundation (ICP). In 2014 he retired from The New York Times as a staff photographer after 38 years of contributing images to the paper. \nTo learn more about the artist\, see his website; \nChesterHiggins.com — #chesterhiggins12 and SacredNile.com \nMeet the Refuge Gallery team\nJoél Alexander De Andrade Ledesma (b. 1989) is Refuge Gallery Curatorial Fellow.
