The Brown Book: Launch Party & Poetry Reading
Thursday, November 4th, 6pm
Berks Warehouse (Montgomery St. entrance)
Drinks and refreshments provided
Vax cards required
The
Brown Book comprises a growing collection of original drawings and
poetry that investigate anthropocentrism and ecological thinking. The
work queries mythological pasts, cultural evolutions, and the
techno-scientific present, tracing a pervasive tendency to identify with
the heavens above in rejection of our earthly existence. Be it gods
over mortals, spirituality over corporeality, mind over
body, rationality over intuition, human over animal, or digital over
analogue, the book addresses western civilization's attempt to achieve,
what Timothy Morton calls, “escape velocity from our physical and
biological being?” By troubling these dreams of ascension
and transcendence, The Brown Book aims to denaturalize enduring
prejudices that permit planetary abuse while fostering an ecological
awareness that attends to the needs of all life.
Join
Narendra and friends to celebrate the release with drinks,
refreshments, and readings from the book. The Brown Book is available
exclusively as an online subscription. Members
receive a hand-bound edition of the book, seasonal shipments of new
compositions, and a space to dialogue with a community of ecologically
concerned creatives, thinkers, and citizens.
