FAITH IN ARTS: A Conversation with Olivia Peace
Faith In Arts: A Conversation with Olivia Peace
Wednesday, August 28, 2024
Presented as part of Faith in Arts
These conversations and interviews with a diverse group of artists, curators, faith leaders, and scholars explore the role of arts in spiritual practice and religious life in the arts.
Olivia Peace is a nationally recognized director and visual artist from Detroit, Michigan. Their work is heavily informed by artistic experimentation, dreamspaces, and a deep reverence for the ecosystems that made them. Peace attended film school at Northwestern University where they studied animation and interactive art. They also hold a master’s degree in Interactive Media and Games from The University of Southern California where they specialized in Worldbuilding. Their most recent film “Against Reality,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, was a winner of the 49th Student Academy Awards competition. Their coming-of-age film "Tahara" was named a New York Times critic's pick. Their projects have screened at festivals and venues including the Lincoln Center, Outfest Film Festival, Frameline Film Festival, Slamdance, and more. In 2017 Peace was a Sundance Ignite Fellow after receiving the Sundance / Adobe Project 1324's "What's Next" Challenge for their film "Pangaea."
In this conversation, Peace discusses their exploration of lucid dreaming in the films "Lucid" and "Against Reality," as well as their engagement with spirituality and futuristic, utopian aesthetics like Solarpunk across various projects.

    Im gonna ask a glass blower to melt me up a tiny playable bagpipe with playable reeds, bag and blowstem. With millifiori chunks and cabochons for furrels and encalmo sections and individually handmade beads to make the drones. I would want a shuttle pipe with 1 drone and 1 shuttle to change the pitch. It would take an entire room of people to collaborate. Artisans and people who know a thing or 2 and cats and dogs. Then Ill clean out my savings to pay the price of it less it be given to a museum. I got first dibs though because of bridghde's little square regulator thing that inspired the idea.

    I beg to differ about the quality of her work, and offer the version of Bullfight in the Denver Museum of Art. The breadth of her body of work may not qualify her for “greatness,” a notion much overvalued in my opinion. However, her best work is quite remarkable.
