Biopharma, Pythagorean Occultism, and Patriarchy
Wednesday, December 13, 7:30 pm
“the snail represents male and female energy, the Pythagorean spiral of life, and taking it all at your own pace.”
Sharona Franklin (Rental Bod, 2016)
Sharona Franklin’s talk will be a homage to Pythagoras, bridging female emancipation, historical mythos of the snail and biopharmalogical constellations. This talk accompanies Matthew Shields’s exhibition Papa Was A Garbage Man, on view at UNIT/PITT until January 13.
