TALK: gaia has 1000 names and eco-feminist art today

Contemporary Istanbul in collaboration with Delfina Foundation, 12 September 2019

Tara Londi will discuss the inspiration behind her exhibition 'Gaia Has a Thousand Names', based on the work of archaeologist Marjia Gimbutas on The Civilization of the Goddess and Old Europe and ecofeminist theories that draw parallels between the patriarchal oppression and the exploitation of nature. The lecture explores how the feminisation of nature, and the naturalisation of women persisted throughout culture, language and history, saturating our conception of the natural world, ecology, and gendered identity.
