A Wish and
a Prayer

| First day of installation at
Hillel |
Revisiting preoccupations with process, place
and presence- a Wish and a Prayer is a new site-specific installation by Canadian artist Pam Hall intended to open a space
for hope, healing and dialogue.
The installation includes a new work entitled 32 days towards a house of prayer and
The Wishing Wall which is a participatory work inviting community members to share their own prayers and wishes as part of
its creation. In constructing the installation, Hall carried over 250 wishes and prayers gathered from more than 50 Canadians
to Providence and install them as the “foundation” for The Wishing Wall, and has provided prayer rags on which
others might inscribe their own wishes to be added to the to the wall during its time in Providence.
A Wish and a
Prayer is at the Brown|RISD Hillel gallery (80 Brown Street, Providence, RI) from 17 January to 21 February 2008. A satellite
installation has been created at New Urban Arts (743 Westminster Street, Providence).
Thursday, February 21, Open Event: Gallery Talk and Reception with Artist
