Super/Natural: Excess, Ecologies, and Art in the Americas

This event has passed.

Super/Natural: Excess, Ecologies, and Art in the Americas explores how recent natural disasters, environmental destruction, and mounting scientific evidence for the immediate dangers of climate change throughout the Americas have inspired the visual arts and cultural production more broadly.

The panelists explored an impressive scope of materials related to the entanglements and divisions of human and nature across regions and periods in Latin America and the Caribbean, including objecthood and deterritorialization, Indigenous ontologies, divine rituals and ecological devastation, Aztec conceptions of temporality, histories of colonial extraction and violence, embodied landscapes, and spirituality in Colombian sculpture.
