The shape of things to come…
.
Description
“As 2012 approaches, so do the many references to the predictions of Nostradamus, Mayan and Gnostic texts that signal the year as one of doom and gloom. Films, novels, art, political and philosophical texts have produced a rich variety of serious documentary and popular visions of apocalypse. [...] This conference, which will take place approximately 6 months before Nostradamus’ fateful December will welcome all imaginary shapes of ends and endings but will also look beyond December 2012 for visions of hope – on the premise, of course, that life (as we have known it) will go on.” (USS)
