Please join us on March 2 with Dr. Katelyn Kelly for“The Girl at the Edge of the World: What Miyazaki Can Offer Us on Hope”
In a world increasingly unreal and precarious, many to turn to realism or pessimism to stay grounded. However, these frames rarely help us imagine alternatives. In this talk we’ll explore what it might mean to ground ourselves in hope instead. We will look to the animator Hayao Miyazaki and his use of an active demanding hope. His movies hold beauty and violence–ruin and small acts of care–and the young as a model of hope within a damaged world.
These talks are free and open to all.
