“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Queer Dark Ecological Art? Look No Further

...than the amazing animations of Clement Hil Goldberg. Goldberg and I immediately saw how our work was connected when I gave a lecture at Berkeley about a year ago. I've been meaning to showcase this work here for a while. Just ... All you have to do is look at this series The Deer In Between. It's about queer activism (Michelle Tea et al!), global warming, mushrooms of all kinds and more. You'll get it. I'm embedding episode 1 here but you can find everything and some more things on the website. For real this is going to be in my Verso book. Ooh and I'm doing a lecture on queer theory and ecology at Penn State early next year.

Warning: queer deer in charge of reincarnation of humans!!!!
