Are contemporary artists giving us mythopoetic glimpses of what Jules Cashford calls The Return of Gaia? Brooke Singer, Associate Professor of New Media and artist, will be our second presenter in the Gaia: Then and Now webinar series. She follows Cashford’s brilliant exploration of how human beings lost a sacred attitude to the Earth over the past two millennia. This occurred through the splitting apart of nature and spirit with the rise of Christianity and the objectification of the material world through the dominance of the scientific mind. Brooke will discuss her recent art works including Site Profile Flags and Unison, the book, that forge connections with ecological systems and more-than-human worlds to challenge human-centric and extractive perspectives. She will also present works by other artists who work across media to bridge divides between art/science, reason/intuition, human/non-human, proposing alternative ways of knowing and being.
