Date of Defense 2009-04-20 Availability restricted Abstract This exhibition is a direct response to my own religious upbringing. I chose to explore theoppression upon women, gays and people of color by religious intolerance. The Church dictates
social and political mores that affect our society and culture and the way we are treated and
governed. The use of the bible and conservative belief structures to defend the ill manner in
which we are treated should not be ordained in today’s social construct.
In the Name of god addresses issues from the Inquisition to the current war for control
over women’s bodies and our reproductive systems. By revisiting the past and illustrating earlier
evidence of religious corruption, I intend to demonstrate this countries lack of understanding of anything other.
