The award, given by ARC (ArtsReligionCulture) in honor of Brazilian theologian, author, and teacher Rubem Alves, acknowledges “an emerging artist, scholar, or activist whose work reflects a commitment to the role of imagination, art, and embodiment in faith and reflection on religion.” Junker will receive her award at ARC’s 2018 Theopoetics Conference in Newton, Massachusetts, on March 9-10, where she will address the ways in which spirituality, activism, and art can be brought together. Congratulations, Yohana!
