Temporary Utopias with Praba Pilar

  • Thursday, February 18, 2021
  • 6:30pm – 8:00pm
  • Online with Zoom

Tiare Ribeaux uses cyanobacteria, both a severe toxin and source of life, as a material in her practice. Join in a discussion about this artist’s work and its implications with respect to emergent ecologies, slimy becomings and messy coexistence. Can we find the temporary utopias amidst the seeming dystopia, imagining creative autonomous zones that offer wondrous possibilities?

Reading: Tiare Ribeaux, “Cyanovisions—Photosynthetic Speculations”
