Wake of the Musk Ox: Baasics 6 Edge Effect

  • June 18, 2015July 3, 2015

Wake of the Musk Ox:

Directed and performed by eve Warnock

A HERD Production in collaboration with BAASICS, AAAS Pacific Division, and SFSU

IMG_6388-PelhamEdit_smallThe Musk Ox is a beautiful creature.  Strong with dignity, fierce with instinct, and full of prowess. It lives in the cold Arctic’s of the northern and southern hemispheres where it bands together in impenetrable circles to protect their young.  This is the story about a mother who has lost her child and has been forced to move the dead.  She is one of a handful that still exist, as the largest beasts have been the first to decline and the only ones left have been forced into domestication.

Ahh here she comes now…

Her feet, my feet, restore.
Her limbs, my limbs, restore.
Her body, my body, restores.
Her voice, my voice, restores.
Her plumes, my plumes, restore.

Officially, we are living in the geologic epoch known as the Holocene, meaning “entirely new.” But some scientists and commentators have proposed another name for the epoch: the Anthropocene, or the “new era of man,” owing to the significant and often detrimental influence human beings have had on Earth’s systems and habitats. Scientific debate about geologic nomenclature is generally not the stuff of newspaper headlines, but the Anthropocene has become a popular talking point.

The polemic swirling around the term is as often existential as it is technical or scientific; provocative and challenging questions are being asked. Is humanity now so industrialized and technologically advanced as to be distinct from the rest of nature? If so, how can the Earth best be protected from our species’ excesses? Or are humans just displaying the same boom-and-bust tendencies many other animals do? And if this is so, can we learn to be good stewards, thoughtfully shaping the Earth we are a part of?
