How to Move a Mountain, Part 1
How to Move a Mountain A three-part series investigating cooperative efforts of both humans and animals Organized by The Citizen’s Laboratory (Amanda Eicher, Valerie Imus, Jerome Waag). How to Move a Mountain takes place over three sessions, each including brief presentations by experts, group conversation, and a responsive interpretation by an artist. The first meeting investigates the stakes involved in collective behavior. What are the processes at work in a community building its home, and what is potentially lost, won, or stabilized in the process? #1: Thursday, January 24, 2013, 7:00 – 9:00 pm We'll convene around a pot of simmering stew with Dr. Deborah Gordon, Professor of Biology at Stanford University and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, presenting her research into the behavior of ant colonies, and Paul Chasan, Planner with the City of San Francisco discussing how the city's landscape is shaped, followed by a group conversation inspired by the work of artist Kathleen Henderson. Stay tuned for more How to Move a Mountain projects #2: Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 7:00 – 9:00 pm #3: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Southern Exposure 3030 20th Street San Francisco, CA
