Abstract
This exhibition confronts the current rhetoric of empathy as sin, using the folklore of the sin eater—a person who bore others’ burdens—and badges of 16th-century nuns as symbols of feminist identity and social resistance. On Thursday morning, Wendy Steiner (The Beauty of Choice) and Kristin Beeler will discuss agency and the freedom to make choices as reflective acts, echoing the show’s call for a culture of care where compassion is not a transgression, but an act of deep principle.
