The 21st United Nations Conference on climate change, held in Paris from November 30th to December 11th 2015, is a decisive step towards negotiating a future international agreement in the fight against climate change. But it is also an opportunity like no other to promote before the general public and political representatives other ways of understanding the complexity of the climate challenge through a multitude of creative and innovative approaches. In 2015, now more than ever, culture is involved in the political agenda, acting like a stakeholder in negotiations on climate change. Through ArtCOP21, culture confirms its central role in ecological transition and sustainable development. The Conferences of the Parties (COP) are technical events practically inaccessible for the uninitiated. The negotiations focus on figures, quotas and financial investments. This exclusively political and scientific approach causes citizen disengagement, even a feeling powerlessness and inaction if the real culture of change is absent. The ecological transition is the opportunity for a new era in which artists and the cultural world participate by inventing new stories, new representations, other ways to produce, to perceive and think. Inbtroduction 4 The UN has officially recognized the direct link between culture and the three pillars of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental), while confirming that culture is both the catalyst and driving force for sustainable development. In autumn 2015, thousands of participants, foundations and NGOs, driven by their commitment to change the world, will be present in Paris. ArtCOP21, wants to transfer this energy to the public through the medium of art by proposing a calendar of cultural events. ArtCOP21, the cultural calendar of Paris Climate Festival 2015, proposes an artistic itinerary uniting the best cultural initiatives of COP21 with a political agenda. David Buckland, Discounting the future, 2010 ArtCOP21 Intentions - Include culture in the political agenda of climate change - Position the artist as the stakeholder in debates about climate - Mobilize and unite everyone involved in the ecological transition - Offer artists a framework of action and expression as part of COP21 - Take concrete action to mobilise citizens and increase awareness of environmental protection - Educate and support participants for better integration of sustainable development in the management and policies of the cultural sector 5 Overview - 150 events in the cultural calendar - More than 100 institutions involved - 20 international artists - 25 projects co-produced by COAL, - 10 events co-produced by Cape Farewell - #Copbox hashtag campaign Thierry Boutonnier, Éteindre l’eau, Performance, Centre d’art Le Lait, 2011, Ph.

  • Anaconda-Becoming: Huni Kuin Image-Songs, an Amerindian Relational Aesthetics
    Artigos Articles http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-71832018000200002 Anaconda-becoming: Huni Kuin image-songs, an Amerindian relational aesthetics Devir-anaconda: huni kuin cantos-imagem, uma estética relacional ameríndia Els Lagrou * * Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro – Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil [email protected] Horiz. antropol., Porto Alegre, ano 24, n. 51, p. 17-49, maio/ago. 2018 18 Els Lagrou Abstract After depicting the contemporary scene of Huni Kuin ayahuasca shamanism and artistic agency, I analyze a selection of image-songs from this ritual. The songs unveil the workings of embodied perception and synesthesia, that is, the transductions of bodily sensations and perceptions in vision, rhythm, song and sound. The experience entails a process of other-becoming where to know means to see through the eyes of Other; to be covered with the skin/ornaments of those beings one has consumed and to sing through their voice. This other-becoming is a becoming in a deleuzian sense, which means that the lived experience is situated in-between the space of self and other. In this context the expression “you are what you eat” has specifi c implications for one’s health and for the acquisition of agentive and perceptive capabilities of other beings. The ritual technique of almost becoming consists of alternatingly producing and undoing temporary transformations through song. Keywords: shamanism; ayahuasca; Amerindian relational aesthetics; song. Resumo Depois de apresentar a cena contemporânea da agencia artística e do xamanismo ayahuasqueiro dos Huni Kuin, apresento uma seleção de seus cantos-imagem. Os cantos revelam a lógica de uma percepção incorporada e sinestésica, isto é, as trans- duções de sensações corporais e percepções entre visão, ritmo, canto e som.

  • 5 from the Forest to the Museum: Notes on the Artistic and Spiritual Collaboration Between Ernesto Neto and the Huni Kuin People1
    Review Copy - Not for Distribution Beatriz Labate - CIIS - 15/02/2018 5 From the forest to the museum: Notes on the artistic and spiritual collaboration between Ernesto Neto and the Huni Kuin people1 Ilana Seltzer Goldstein2 and Beatriz Caiuby Labate3 Crossing paths through ayahuasca and art The Huni Kuin people, also sometimes known as the Kaxinawá,4 speak a Pano language and live in Peru and Brazil, close to the border between the two countries. Their population numbers approximately 11,500 (Lima, Kaxinawa, Matos & Ferreira, 2014). Traditionally, ayahuasca consumption is frequent among Huni Kuin men in rituals that may last all night. The sing- ers possess a special power, guide the ceremony, and are capable of amplify- ing the effect of the beverage. Liminal visual events – experienced by the Huni Kuin in dreams, fever- ish states, and especially when under the effect of this psychoactive – allow people to participate sensorially in a cosmos in continual metamorphosis. Barbara Keifeinheim emphasizes the link between ayahuasca consumption and the visualization and production of images among the Huni Kuin (Keif- einheim, 2004). According to the author, the images are accompanied by acoustic alterations and increase in intensity through the co-occurrence of sounds. The effect of the song derives less from the texts than from the rhythm, volume, and tone. This synesthetic nature of the experience of ayahuasca consumption among the Huni Kuin, which, as we shall see later, so fascinated the Brazil- ian contemporary artist Ernesto Neto, is reiterated by anthropologist Els Lagrou: The songs are very important to producing visions, to guide the people who participate in this ritual, and to teach them to see what they are seeking to see and, above all, enabling them not to become lost .

  • Haste and Waste in the City: Rekindling Care About and for Trees in Another Time
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 43.1 March 2017: 165-195 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.2017.43.1.09 Haste and Waste in the City: Rekindling Care about and for Trees in Another Time Shruti Desai Department of Media and Communications Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK Abstract Environmental time is one of the most pivotal yet least explicated issues raised by anthropogenic environmental change. This essay contributes an understanding of this issue by exploring the temporalities of ethical regard and disregard for trees in the context of urban timescapes. The exploration of ethical urban temporalities is organized around three digital artistic interventions focused on Paris (One Heart One Tree), New York City (PopUP Forest), and London (Trees on Sidewalks). These interventions are examined as ecocritical case studies, which aim to confront and subsequently rearticulate human-tree relations, using the city as a material and symbolic site to facilitate ecological awareness and disruption. Each case study is discussed with respect to how environmental time is at once magnified and muted, foregrounded and marginalized, by a given intervention, whose timespan and relationship with the temporalities of urban living are as much ethical considerations as is the temporal logic of capitalism that mediates against inhabiting human-tree relations with care and consideration. The use of digital media in each case is discussed with respect to how the interventions differentially make urban ecological temporalities (in)visible. The essay suggests ways in which the interventions stimulate reflection on employing digital media technologies in art, research, and everyday life to make empirically accessible and theoretically meaningful the elusive but substantial role of time in facilitating human care about and for trees.

    THE NETWORK OF INFLUENCES THAT SHAPE THE DRAWING AND THINKING OF FIFTH-GRADE CHILDREN IN THREE DIFFERENT CULTURES: NEW YORK, U.S., MOLAOS, GREECE, AND WADIE ADWUMAKASE, GHANA by Linda E. Kourkoulis Dissertation Committee: Professor Judith Burton, Sponsor Professor Mary Hafeli Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 10 February 2021 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT THE NETWORK OF INFLUENCES THAT SHAPE THE DRAWING AND THINKING OF FIFTH-GRADE CHILDREN IN THREE DIFFERENT CULTURES: NEW YORK, U.S., MOLAOS, GREECE, AND WADIE ADWUMAKASE, GHANA Linda E. Kourkoulis Using an ecological systems approach, this qualitative study examined how continuously evolving, personal living experiences and the ideologies and attitudes of their material, folk, and school culture come to be (re) presented in the construction of images and meaning in children’s artwork. The research was conducted with three groups of fifth-grade students facilitated by the art teacher at their schools in three different countries: United States, Greece, and Ghana. Data in the form of a set of autobiographical drawings from observation, memory, and imagination with written commentary were created by each participant and supported with responses to questionnaires and correspondences from teachers and parents. The sets of drawings were analyzed in terms of how the drawings reflect the children’s (a) artistic expression as mediated by their interaction with local and media influences and (b) sense of self, agency, or purpose. The findings strongly suggest that style, details, content, and media use assumed a dominant role within the drawings.
