Curator Tal Beery Speaks to SUNY New Paltz Students About Owning Earth - Part 4

The artists of Owning Earth challenge the intolerable cruelty of deeply entrenched systems of domination-over our environment, other species, and other humans--and imagine alternatives based on mutuality and reverence.
Artists: Sariah Park, Colin Lyons, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, Brooke Singer, Christy Gast, Eliza Evans, Matthew Friday & Alex Young, Alejandro Chellet, Melinda Kiefer, Sam Spillman, Emilie Houssart, Eileen Wold, Eleanor King & Lucy Pullen, Michael Asbill & Derek Stroup, Joel Olzak, Sarah Max Beck, Robert C Beck, and how to perform an abortion (Maureen Connor, Landon Newton and Kadambari Baxi with Eugenia Manwelyan)
Owning Earth curator Tal Beery and assistant curator Erin Antonak are both nationally-known artists with longstanding connections to the Hudson Valley. Among other works, the artists in Owning Earth weaved flags created from site-specific soil profiles, laid patterns of the legendary Underground Railroad Quilt Code, erected monuments to bee democracy, and built outdoor laboratories to test radical climate solutions.
