In this program we explore the restoration of the feminine and the feminization of the restoration, with a dance, a Mam'on, a meditation, and a prayer with Nina Simons, Katsi Cook, Starhawk, Terry Tempest Williams, Marta Benevides, and Kirstin Wilson.

Enter the molecular world of biology, where mushrooms have built a communication network that rivals the Internet and "everything is somebody's lunch." In this dialogue you'll meet two brilliant "bioneers," Kenny Ausubel and his partner, Nina Simons, who are using nature to heal nature in the battle to restore the Earth from "suicide genes" and "terminator technology."

Bioneers recognize that technical solutions to the ecological challenges we face must be accomplished by a change of heart.

"The Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature" introduces us to the past half-century's most visionary designers, practitioners and pioneers of sustainable living. Inspired by the philosophies of the Deep Ecology movement, the Bioneers are heroic examples of people living as if nature mattered.

In/Visible War addresses a paradox of twenty-first century American warfare. The contemporary visual American experience of war is ubiquitous, and yet war is simultaneously invisible or absent; we lack a lived sense that “America” is at war. This paradox of in/visibility concerns the gap between the experiences of war zones and the visual, mediated experience of war in public, popular culture, which absents and renders invisible the former. Large portions of the domestic public ex...

Las historias se dibujan en el humo, brillan sobre la plata y nadan en un mar de estrellas. Se ocultan en libros antiguos, se disfrazan de animales que hablan entre los árboles, reclaman niñas en nombre de los dioses. Son fragmentos entregados a las lunas y custodiados por ángeles, por brujas, por figuras de hielo. Son narraciones de aroma penetrante que hablan de magia perdida, de poderes ocultos y reinos olvidados.Y el eco de sus cantos te espera.
