Abstract

The Prayer Pocket Place, is the ideal public pedagogical outcome of visual artistic practise. Its
historical links, practical progressions, and successful teaching and learning processes are framed
using narration, testimonials and the initiator’s reflections. These outline Pockets’ transformative
articulation of its tricky subject matter – spirituality in the public sphere – and disclose how its
widespread public endorsement and lasting place / belonging were gained.
