Alexandra Banks is a postdoctoral university scholar at the University of Divinity and works as an artist, theologian, writer and researcher who engages theologically with the arts and trauma theory to uncover the complex landscape of embodied memory. Alexandra’s current research is centred on theological engagements with issues of radical suffering, and the doctrinal and practical implications of traumatic embodied memory.

The David Binns Memorial Lectures were established in memory of the late Rev’d David Binns (1942-2008).  Art, for David, was an act of the exploration of meaning and an act of the imagination. Through his art and ministry David challenged us to find the holy in the ordinary, the ordinary in the holy.  His boundless, complex imagination encouraged us to ‘see’ outside the square and he deeply touched the lives of many.  He was deeply committed to ecumenism and the interfaith dialogue.
