- **Event Description**: Join us for an informal research cafe and exhibition viewing of Sarah Lightman’s Biblical Women.About this EventAs part of the Centre for Biblical Studies’ CIDRAL-funded programme of events entitled Encountering Biblical Bodies, we are pleased to host works from artist Sarah Lightman’s Biblical Domestic and Menstrual Hystery series in the Samuel Alexander Glass Corridor.In these paintings, biblical heroines trade halos for housework and divine serenity for the messy reality of ageing bodies, menopause, and domestic labour. Working primarily in vibrant watercolours, Lightman reimagines figures like Judith, Mary, and Eve battling hot flushes, cluttered kitchens, and midlife. Rooted in the feminist Jewish tradition of midrash, these works fill in the biblical silences: the thoughts, struggles, and bodily truths left out of the male-dominated canon. With wit, irreverence, and deep empathy, Lightman asks what happens when we stop hiding ageing bodies and start painting the parts we were never told.This event is an opportunity to view the exhibition and to hear Sarah Lightman in conversation with members of The University of Manchester’s Centre for Biblical Studies and visiting speaker Dr Dawn Llewellyn (Chester).AccessibilityWe want to make the event a positive experience for all participants.
