Traveling Exhibition: Radically Reimagining Human Relationships to Nature

With the rise of Western Modernity, policy makers in European and American societies, following Descartes and Locke, have almost universally conceptualized nature as irrational, subduable, savage, and ownable, meanwhile elevating humanity to the status of rational, dominant, civilized, and possessory. Radically Reimagining seeks a fundamental reevaluation of our human relationships to nature by creating, and securing National Endowment for the Humanities funding to present, a traveling exhibition that will bring humanistic expression, socio-legal critique, and Indigenous perspectives to bear on nine public policy areas that encompass our evolving human relationship to nature.
