“The Role of Myth in Anthropogeny,” is the topic of a FREE, hybrid public symposium hosted by the CARTA: UC San Diego/Salk Center for Academic Research & Training in Anthropogeny at the Salk Institute - Conrad T. Prebys Auditorium on Friday, May 19, 2023 (Beginning 1:00 p.m. Pacific with Q&A and expert discussion and commencing ~ 4:30 p.m. Pacific), co-chaired by Daniel Povinelli (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and Pauline Wiessner (Arizona State University & University of Utah). Event Summary: The human penchant for storytelling is universal, early developing, and profoundly culture-shaping. Stories (folk tales, narratives, and myths) influence the costs of social transactions and organize societies at every scale of human interaction. Story as a mode of communication is also unprecedented in the animal kingdom: although we are compelled to tell stories about other animals, they are not likewise compelled to tell stories about us (or anything else, for that matter). Even scientists who attempt to objectively understand human origins are destined to craft those explanations as stories, often with narrative and/or mythic overtones. From the domestication of fire to the emergence of cooperative hunting to the evolutionary origins of human cognition, our understanding of the human journey is deeply influenced by stories embedded in our cultural histories. Even our ability to manage urgent human problems such as global health and climate change are affected by the stories and myths humans choose to tell. This symposium explores several stories about how the evolution of story-telling shaped, and continues to shape, the human epoch.

Note: this exhibition is viewable from the sidewalk on 25th St. From San Diego Weekend Events (KPBS arts preview): Mortis Studio was founded in 2016 by Taylor Johnson and Dustyn Peterman as an art, animation, video and graphic design creative agency. They're opening a new studio in Golden Hill this week, with an art exhibition to kick things off. "Soft" is a collection of works by local textile artist Denja Harris of Brown Acid Goods, and it'll be on view beginning Friday through Jan. 16, 2022. I love the way Harris plays with colors and shapes in her thick, rug-like tufted fiber works, and the patterns feel just as vintage as they do modern and surprising. The opening reception is Friday, with food and drink from the popular TNT Pizza. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Mortis Studio is pleased to present SOFT, the debut solo exhibition by Denja Harris. Opening reception: Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, 6 - 9 p.m. Food and drinks will be provided by @tntsdpizza. Exhibition dates will run through January 16th. Denja Harris is a textile artist based out of San Diego, CA. Her work explores experimental functional art with an emphasis in nostalgia, color, shapes, and texture. Each piece reflects work that is never duplicated, revealing how function and design can be combined to enhance a space. The inaugural show also marks the official opening of MORTIS STUDIO’S new office in Golden Hill. MORTIS STUDIO. 1038 25th St, San Diego, CA 92102
