Speaking

Rose Marie Berger speaks frequently on the relationships between faith, art and activism. In her talks, she invites audiences to consider how their faith is enriched by the arts, how daily life in their neighborhoods and cities influences their faith, and how personal faith fuels activism for the common good. She is noted for her “bible-busting” ability, opening up scripture in fresh and engaging ways.

Rose brings her vocation as a poet and her more than two decades of Christian social justice work to her presentations. Lively and interactive, Rose’s workshops and lectures incorporate visual art, music and lots of dialogue.

To invite Rose to speak at your school, church, group, or event, email rbergersol at gmail dot com.
