SUMMARY:What Would Buddha Do?
DESCRIPTION:If we are doomed no matter what\, do our decisions matter? In this program\, two self-proclaimed “bad Buddhists” try to answer the question of how to lose less badly and live ethically in the no-win situation of catastrophic climate change. \nWen Stephenson\, author of What We’re Fighting for Now Is Each Other\, wrote in a recent essay for The Baffler: ”[Climate] doomists are right that it’s a no-win situation. [And yet] even at this late date\, some versions of ‘losing’ could look far worse than others. We can still lose less badly!” \nEchoing this sentiment\, Roy Scranton\, author of Learning to Die in the Anthropocene\, wrote in a recent tweet: \n“If we are not careful\, we will waste our energy trying to convince zealots\, arguing over who is to blame\, attacking our allies\, and preaching to the choir\, and the seas will rise all the same. Is this the best use of what little time we have? Or can we do something different?” \nLook into the abyss with Scranton and Stephenson as they try make ethical sense of our collective catastrophe. \nAbout the Speakers

SUMMARY:Do Rivers Have Rights?
DESCRIPTION:If a river had the same legal rights as a person\, would we do a better job of protecting its ecosystem? And how might this legalistic approach intersect with traditional customs and rituals for sacred places? \nHindus believe life is incomplete without bathing in the Ganges at least once. While the river’s spiritual purity has remained unchallenged for millennia\, its water is now physically impure with the pollution of human and industrial waste. \nA court in Uttarakhand ruled that the Ganges and Yamuna rivers and their related ecosystems have “the status of a legal person\, with all corresponding rights\, duties\, and liabilities…in order to preserve and conserve them.” Can the same claim be made for the Hudson or any ecosystem? And if so\, what mechanisms can enforce these declarations? \nPhilosopher Vishwa Adluri meets with Riverkeeper’s John Lipscomb and environmental lawyer Ben Price to enlighten us on the issues at stake. \n \nAbout the Speakers

SUMMARY:Rites and Rituals - Mona Polacca and Marina Abramović at The Rubin Museum
DESCRIPTION:Our world is shaped by ritual. Hopi/Havasupai/Tewa Grandmother Mona Polacca meets with the “grandmother of performance art” Marina Abramović to talk about the essential role that ritual\, repetition\, and durational experiences play in reminding of us of our relationships to all things. \nAbout the Speakers \n\nMona Polacca\, a Hopi/Havasupai/Tewa elder\, has a Master of Social Work degree and has recently been chosen as a member of the World Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in recognition of her international justice work. She has worked on issues of Indigenous Peoples especially related to the Right to Water\, social and health issues\, and elderly native peoples. \nMona serves on several United Nations committees on indigenous people’s issues and is a featured author\, speaker\, and educator on indigenous people’s human rights\, aging\, mental health\, addiction\, and violence. She is also the President/CEO and faculty member of the Turtle Island Project\, a nonprofit program that promotes a vision of wellness by providing trans-cultural training to individuals\, families\, and healthcare professionals. \n\nSince the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s\, Marina Abramović has pioneered performance art\, creating some of the form’s most important early works. Exploring her physical and mental limits\, she has withstood pain\, exhaustion\, and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. \nAbramović was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale. In 2010\, Abramović had her first major U.S. retrospective and simultaneously performed for over 700 hours in The Artist Is Present at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Abramovic founded the Marina Abramovic Institute (MAI)\, a platform for immaterial and long durational work to create new possibilities for collaboration among thinkers of all fields. \nHer most recent publication is Walk Through Walls: A Memoir\, Published by Crown Archetype on October 25\, 2016. Her retrospective\, The Cleaner\, opened at Moderna Museet\, Stockholm in February 2017 and is touring to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark\, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo\, Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn\, and Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. \n\nImage Credit\nPortrait of Marina Abramović\, © Dusan Reljin\, 2018
