Hi, I'm Morgan and I'm an artist. I'm also recovering from fundamentalist christianity. I will be sitting down with other artists, recovering christians, activists, psychologists, doctors, &amp; friends to explore what we have been taught, how our identities have shifted, and how we will move forward. In year 1, we will hear personal stories about purity culture's effect. In year 2, I will spotlight artists who are answering their own personal, critical questions. I will, in every way possible, open my imagination to the task of staying curious.
