What is LEAST: A student festival of art in response to the following:
"Of this we can be sure, that poverty … mars the image of God within humanity; it mars the image of God in the poor, [the sick, the oppressed, the least] as it deprives them of opportunities for abundant life. It mars the image of God within those of us who have more than enough, but who through greed, complacency or even ignorance fail to do the justice to embrace the loving kindness that our God asks of us. " -- Bishop Ndungane, Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa
