Graduate Student Lunchtime Lecture: Speculative Semitropic

"Speculative Semitropic" lecture by Nico King (PhD Candidate in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with an emphasis in Art Practice, interdisciplinary artist, researcher in modern landscape history, and a trained landscape designer)

Speculative Semitropic

Since the so-called Age of Discovery, California's natural and cultural landscapes have inhabited a space between mythical projection and capitalist realism. In her talk, Nico King explores how human-made natures have been envisioned and engineered in the garden in the twentieth century, reshaping Southern California’s geographic realities in the Anthropocene.
