The Truth of the Art: Elizabeth Lev at TEDxViadellaConciliazione

Elizabeth Lev is an art historian in Rome. She engineered a formative course on faith and art for the Vatican Museums in response to a request from Pope Benedict XVI, and collaborated with the Museum on a television series for EWTN about sacred art in the Vatican collections. Lev moved from the US to Italy to do her doctoral work. Lev's study of St. Peter's Basilica led her to renew her Catholic faith, which she had previously renounced. Her experience studying and teaching art has led her to believe that when we encounter something beautiful we are made vulnerable and opened to the truth; but if we are not afraid of beauty, it ultimately leads us out of ourselves to something great. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
