Join Gallery QI for "Three Echologies: Scene 2: Planetary Echologies," a performative piece by Unidad de Conciencias Colectivas Terrestres (Terrestrial Collective Consciousness Unit), Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 and *particle group* from QI Principal Investigator Ricardo Dominguez. Date | Thursday, May 19 at 5 p.m. Location | UCSD Atkinsons Hall Free Event, RSVPs requested to galleryqi@ucsd.edu. “Scene 2: Planetary Echologies” explores climate borders, environmental degradation and "ecosophy," a philosophy dedicated to studying links between social relations, human subjectivity and the natural world, through the medium of art. The performers find inspiration in the book “The Three Ecologies,” in which the psychoanalyst, philosopher and playwright Félix Guattari defines ecology at three different scales: planet-wide crises like the pandemic and climate change, intermediate-level relations like micro-politics and micro- and molecular scales within the body.
