Join us for a live conversation with Indian photographer, artist, poet, and group photo editor of a leading Indian Media Group in India - BANDEEP SINGH! On the eve of India’s Independence Day, Bandeep will be premiering a “never-before-shown” body of work called GAIA’s SONG that he has spent over 10 years researching and creating. It’s mystical, unlike anything we have seen on EARTH IS OUR WITNESS! If you love India, then this is India at its absolute philosophical core! Joining us will be artist-in-residence Art Wolfe & host Parimal Deshpande. GAIA'S SONG | Gaia is the primordial Earth Goddess in the ancient Greek religion. In the seventies, a path breaking view of the earth principle was formulated, known as Gaia Theory. Gaia Theory views our earth as an organic living entity in which every thing, animate or inanimate, is inexorably linked to each other. Gaia's Song is a mystical expression of the spirit of the cosmic feminine that imbues all creation. This cosmic power of creation runs through the universe like an embedded program, which creates, operates & governs it. In the Shakta School of philosophy, this elemental power is named as Shakti. She is the energy spirit, the life force that pervades the dynamic & manifest aspects of the universe. These images are from my explorations of the metaphor of this feminine principle. The earthen pot represents the idea of earth as a matrix of creation - the womb - the vessel from which life springs forth.
