  • 37th Hannah A. Quint lecture: Compost Theology, Jewish Thought & The Climate Crisis. Mara Benjamin, Mt. Holyoke College

    Compost Theology

    The urgency of action to decarbonize and mitigate the worst effects of planetary disorder is clear to most of us by now. Changing our ecological trajectory depends not only on large- and small-scale practices, however, but also on shifting how we conceptualize the world. Mara Benjamin explores how dirty and decomposing matter offers a pungent way in. She suggests the humble backyard compost pile proffers a theological-ecological site in which new life rises from the dead.

    Justin O'Rourke: A Journey in Steel

    Sponsored by:
    Studio Art

    Justin O’Rourke creates steel sculptures and large-scale, object-based drawings. His practice draws upon inspiration from childhood experiences exploring the industrial ruins of West Rutland, Vermont, and adventures as a hydroelectric mechanic. These, along with observations of nature and a playful, imaginative vision, are the foundation for his unique voice. O’Rourke manipulates and varies scale, an intentional device used to incite viewer response.
