On November 1, 2023, the exhibition-festival of contemporary church art "Видеть и слышать" (“To See and to Hear”) hosted a round table “Interiors and Exteriors of an Orthodox Temple”. It was organized by the Prohram Studio.

The round table raised once again the important issues of modern church architecture. Among them are the need for conciliar work by architects, artists, and art historians for every project, as well as the importance of raising the level of art education in theological schools. We hope that such lively discussions will continue and contribute to the emergence of new worthy projects.
