"To be human does not mean to have fled animality, but on the contrary to live within it and to let it live within us…we are animals and animals are us."
In our last class, we were looking at creative forms of artistic expression that are linked to material production and innovation by looking at nature’s inhabitants. Last week’s presentation focused on the art of beekeeping and silkworm caretaking, with each providing a series of widespread contributions and applications to our daily lives that we may not have thought of or have taken for granted.
