Join Grace Ndiritu for a seminar-style discussion on intersections of hippie counterculture and radical leftist activism. The conversation will begin with a discussion of Simon Sadler's text "Mandalas or Raised Fists? Hippie Holism, Panther Totality, and Another Modernism" (PDF link below) which unpacks California’s Bay Area 60s activist scene and the overlaps and distinctions between the Black Panthers and the activism that ermerged around the Whole Earth Catalog, a hippie almanac published by Stewart Brand between 1968 and 1972. The discussion will be punctuated by short silent meditation breaks led by the artist.
