How can art be a catalyst for political change?
In a new autobiography, groundbreaking and acclaimed artist, Aviva Rahmani, shares her evolution as a woman, an artist, an ecofeminist, and a fearless defender of the natural world.
In the world of ecoart, a genre which combines art techniques, political activism, and scientific insight to create pieces that speak directly to our current ecological threat, Rahmani’s cutting-edge work grapples with the political, social, and cultural realities of the day and expresses a deep compassion and concern for injustice.
Her autobiography, Divining Chaos: The Autobiography of an Idea, offers an intimate tour of her life and work. Along the way Rahmani hones her inventive style integrating painting, sculpture, film, music, performance, and, ultimately, the natural world. In one of her most celebrated pieces, The Blued Trees Symphony, she used a series of endangered forest sites, starting in New York state, as her canvas by painting trees with a blue marking that corresponded to the musical movements of an aerial symphony.
