Film Screening and Discussion
In view of the questions and observations raised by the life of Gandhian eco-activist Dr Vandana Shiva, this screening and discussion shares reflections on the historiographies, cultural conditions of possibility, and ecosophical precepts of ecofeminist movement. The Seeds of Vandana Shiva (2022) stories the layered interfaces of kinship, knowledge, and activism, in relation to the rhizomatic, developmentalist penetration of biotechnological capitalism. The film as a site of engagement with Shiva's ecofeminist work opens up analysis of resistance (from the Chipko movement to farmers protesting biotechnological domination), epistemology and research (from submerged perspectives to global institutional knowledges), and the role of media and mediatisation in the politics earthly survival, including in the form of the film itself.
The discussion will be led by respondents Dr Becca Voelcker (Lecturer, Art), Naomi Henning (PhD candidate, Visual Cultures) and Dr Wood Roberdeau (Senior Lecturer, Visual Cultures and Co-lead of the Critical Ecologies Research Stream) and chaired by Dr Sarah Cefai (Lecturer, Media, Communications and Cultural Studies)
Co-hosted by Media, Communications and Cultural Studies and Critical Ecologies, Goldsmiths, with thanks for funding to Media, Communications and Cultural Studies.
