As part of our commitment to bringing you the latest social-scientific research on religion, GCRR is proud to introduce the Head of our "Art and Religion" division, Dr. Amy Schwartzott.
Dr. Schwartzott is Assistant Professor of Art History and Curator of University Galleries at North Carolina A&T State University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2014. An ethnographic investigation of recyclia utilized by Mozambican artists is presented in her dissertation, "Weapons and Refuse as Media: The Potent Politics of Recycling in Contemporary Mozambican Urban Arts." This research resulted in a Centre for Conflict Studies Fellowship and Fulbright awards. Dr. Schwartzott’s research interests are firmly rooted in contemporary African art and artists who use recycled material as media (both African and global expressions).

Art is no longer limited to passive observation; today, audiences are invited to step inside the experience. Interactive art installations transform traditional spaces into immersive environments where visitors engage directly with light, sound, motion, or digital technology. These works encourage participation, blurring the line between artist and audience. Whether through sensors, projections, or augmented reality, each interaction creates a unique outcome, making every visit personal. This dynamic shift in art fosters deeper emotional connections and redefines creativity for the modern era.
