About this Event
Free EventThe Commonwealth Club of California and the Townsend Center present a series of dialogues on catastrophe and storytelling.
Sugata Ray (UC Berkeley History of Art) talks with visual artist Ranu Mukherjee about the relationship between nature and the sacred, with a focus on India during the rise of the Anthropocene era.
Ray's recent book, Climate Change and the Art of Devotion, explores the art and theology that emerged in the wake of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1550-1850), an epoch marked by global climatic catastrophes.
This conversation is an opportunity for viewers to contemplate and rethink the role of art as it relates to concerns around climate change, disease, and other contemporary crises.
