wildness in the anthropocene

“If the Anthropocene will have a lexicon, it should be a wild one. It should be a set of terms that pushes our thinking beyond simplified ideas of human dominion. We should be unsettled just the right amount, in this so-called human era. We should not lose sight of ourselves as actors who create new forms of wildness even as we erase others. By carefully situating ourselves within not only social but also ecological webs of interconnection, we can guard against the grandiosity and anthropocentrism of the Anthropocene. This epoch named for ourselves—is it a cautionary term, or, as Cymene Howe and Anand Pandian suggest, “the ultimate act of . . . self-aggrandizement”? Do we laud our capacity for lasting change at the same time as we deplore and fear it?”

"Our house is literally burning, and it is only logical that environmentalists expect the social justice movement to get on the environmental bus. But it is the other way around; the only way we are gong to put out the fire is to get on the social justice bus and heal our wounds, because in the end, there is only one bus."

Paul Hawken, Blessed Unrest

   NEXUS FOR ART & ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM:  

RECOLOGY S.F. ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM

[wildisms]

    I’VE BEEN EXPLORING THE ABOVE QUESTION THROUGH many lenses my entire professional life. From the personal to the political, I’ve worked to learn how art can be an effective means for engagement and enlightenment – all while maintaining the highest artistic integrity. It’s been a challenging, but a very satisfying, journey...

Whoever does not write is written?

Might we be reminded that "our interpretations of the world are constituted through modalities peculiar to our physiology, including binocular vision, vertical posture, bilateral symmetry, apprehension of that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum we call light, and so forth." How might the world be different if we perceived as compound-eyed insects do (Haraway, 1991) ?

From Russell, C. L. (2005). ‘Whoever does not write is written’: the role of ‘nature’ in post-post approaches to environmental education research. Environmental Education Research, 11(4), 433–443.

Repression of the ecological unconscious is the deepest root of the collusive madness in industrial society; open access to the ecological unconscious is the path to sanity.
