The Art & Ecology research group at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts is happy to invite you to the next session of the Art & Ecology Reading Group.
The Reading Group gathers monthly at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Each meeting, we will read and discuss relevant and urgent selected articles within the field of enquiry of the Art & Ecology research group. The group welcomes everyone - researchers, staff, students, alumni or otherwise - who wishes to participate.
Wednesday 12 March
- 17:00-19:00: Reading Group
During our meeting on March 12, we'll discuss the fourth chapter (‘The Name of the Vine’) of Lynn Margulis’s groundbreaking publication Symbiotic Planet: A New View of Evolution, which was first published by Basic Books in 1998. - 19:00 - 21:30: Film Screening
Immediately following the reading group meeting, we scheduled a screening of the film documentary Symbiotic Earth: How Lynn Margulis Rocked the Boat & Started a Scientific Revolution, by John Feldman, from 2018 . Please bring some snacks if you'll stay for the film screening; we will do the same.
Warm regards,
Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky, Sina Hensel and Roel Arkesteijn
