And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers?  : aesthetic responses to extraction, accumulation, and dispossession   Cover Image Book Book

And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers? : aesthetic responses to extraction, accumulation, and dispossession / edited by Miguel A. Lopez.

Lopez, Miguel A., (editor.). Kunsthalle Wien, (host institution.). Wiener Festwochen. (Added Author).

Summary:

"And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers?" wrote the Chilean poet, artist, and feminist activist Cecilia Vicuña in the early 1970s. Vicuña countered anthropocentric and hetero-patriarchal urges with healing and appreciation, reviving the aesthetic and spiritual bonds between human and more-than-human entities and worlds. Revolving around this vision of interconnectivity, this book, which accompanies a joint exhibition of the same name of Kunsthalle Wien and Wiener Festwochen, seeks to create a collective dialogue around unequal distribution of power, sovereignty, and social and ecological justice." --Sternberg Press website (viewed on May 3, 2023)
