Mutualista; towards a new cosmic methodology

For Mutualista, artist Marcus Zúñiga will moderate a panel discussion taking its cue from his mutualism imager project. Currently on view in the Armory’s From the Ground Up exhibition, Zúñiga’s installation conflates references to sun and moon alignments and the symbiotic relationship between the yucca and moth, in order to model a possible form of healing where cosmic knowledge initiates the process.

Zúñiga will expand on these ideas in a discussion with curandera and author Erika Buenaflor, astrophysicist Jorge Moreno, and writer and scholar David Delgado Shorter. The discussion serves as an experiment to develop an interdisciplinary (art, science, healing, culture) approach for addressing the planet’s current existential condition in the cosmos. This event is free and open to everyone. RSVPs are appreciated.
