God’s Secrets: An Immersive Art Experience

Imagine stepping through a hidden door into history’s back room — to overhear fervent prayers of unsung saints, listen to conversations that shaped dreams of freedom for generations, and bear witness to quiet acts of dignity that fueled that movement.

God’s Secrets is an immersive art experience that invites people to encounter the stories of Christian freedom fighters that have often been overlooked.

Designed by acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist Shabazz Larkin and narrated by renowned historian Dr. Jemar Tisby, this traveling chair invites visitors to sit, be still, and hear untold gospel hope stories — featuring lesser-known Black Christian leaders whose faith fueled movements for justice. Three audio stories describe the contributions of Anna Murray Douglass, Prathia Hall, and The Savannah Colloquy. Each of the three audio stories is about eight minutes in length. The entire experience is 25 minutes in length.
