The panel „Creative Christian Witnessing: Sacred Music, Film and Art in a Changing World” aims to examine the ways in which artistic expressions inspired by the Christian tradition are manifested, transformed and recontextualized in contemporary society. In a cultural landscape shaped by mobility, pluralism, and rapid technological advancement, sacred music, film, and art become privileged spaces for dialogue between spiritual heritage and emerging forms of sensibility. The inquiry seeks to explore the relationship between Christian identity and current creative strategies, the ways in which theological messages are integrated or reinterpreted through diverse artistic languages, as well as the impact these practices have on communities and cultural environments. The panel invites introspection from those who investigate both the continuity and the new directions of Christian creation, offering an interdisciplinary framework for reflecting on the place of sacred art in contemporary society.
