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.
