Ecocide comes from the Greek word for “house” (oikos) and the Latin word “to kill” (caedere) – killing our home, the Earth. A team of legal scholars recently came up with a more formal definition: "Unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.” Ecocide can take place in peacetime, as with the mass burning of fossil fuels, or in war, where it is often used as a weapon. This show will engage the public on the issue of ecocide– including but not limited to the tragedies unfolding in Ukraine and Gaza.
This show will remain up through May 10th, programming TBD.
Artists to be announced after March 19th.
