CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class will explore the roots of Eco feminism, looking at the theories and artists working within the field. Parallels will be drawn with 'end of the world' Science fiction as offering a space where possibilities for our world can be imagined which may be helpful in addressing the climate crisis. Cultural producers are taking stock in regard to the possible futures for human and non human life on earth. A global pandemic; climate collapse, the re-emergence of nuclear threat, and an acceleration of globalized capitalism are making the parallel worlds of science fiction, ecology and feminism all the more relevant. The class will focus on the writings of hydro-feminists such as Astrid Neimadis, the fiction of Atwood and Le Guin and the art works of Rhona Eve Clews, Kim V Goldsmith and Aviva Rehmani. Students will be able to take fresh ideas about the notion of ecological futurity within the arts from the session.
