Talk | The Rights of Nature


With Curt Collier. Democracy has always been about the expansion of rights. Movies like “Selma” remind us that this has never been easy for humans to conceive and understand, and unfortunately, the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is still seen as expressly a human attribute. And yet, there is a legal basis for the expansion of rights to the nonhuman. Do we need a bill of rights for Nature and is it something that we must pursue in order to save the planet. What would this bill of rights contain, and how practically could it be construed and enforced.

Tour | Bushwick Graffiti and Street Art Tour


New York City is a mecca for graffiti and street art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world. Bushwick, in a working class district on the north side of Brooklyn adjacent to Williamsburg, has been attracting artists for some time now. The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist. If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick.
