Humanbeeing - a conversation

On Tuesday September 27, BoxoFFICE hosted a dynamic dialogue between Megan Evans and Ron Breland, beekeeper/philosopher. A diverse audience of collectors, artists, cultural programmers and environmentalists joined us for the evening. 

 




Ron installed one of his decahedron hives and gave a compelling talk involving bees, art and new physics that posited how bees allow us to see beyond our usual preconceptions and glimpse the unity of the super organism of which we are all part. 


 



Megan put her practice and the exhibition into this context of accessing our interconnectedness and encouraged us to see generosity and giving as an access point to understanding our place in the universe and achieving reconciliation with each other and the greater environment that surrounds us. 

 

A lively Q followed. The talk was broadcast by Skype to Boston and a video can be seen here.
