Fire season marks California's nature to burn. With wildfires ripping through an arid landscape uniquely susceptible to flames, it is a place both situated for ruin and ripe for rebirth. Practices of fire management have markedly changed over time, shifting away from natural cycles and rhythms as climate change continues to fuel dry conditions in the American West.
Following a screening of Sea of Fire (Gabbiani, 2022, 7 minutes), artist Francesca Gabbiani joins curator Catherine Taft to explore how her work responds to the anxiety of environmental destruction and political structures through the lens of a spiritual reconnection to nature. Their conversation will address the tenets of ecofeminism and the ways artists have mined the intersections of gender and nature over time.
