BTW 63: Sirens, Medusa, and the Beings of the Underworld with Liz Andres
Between the Worlds Podcast
Are Humans Part of the Natural World?
Our culture doesn't tolerate any being to move between worlds in the way that we can see, like the persecution of transpeople, for instance. And it seems almost to describe a world view that cannot imagine even in a super hero film. I mean, every moment is a weird moment, suppose. But it feels like we're at the simultaneous kind of opening up of these limital spaces where we're allowing more types of people and more types of expression to be visible and seen and heard.
Today we have a special treat for you in our conversation with museum scholar Liz Andres wherein we discuss:
- Liminal Beings, those mythical creatures who dwell between the worlds, of life and death, above and below, in the wilds and in the human realms.
- hybrid creatures, half human half animal, like the Sirens or Medusa, or the randy adventurous Centaurs of yore
- beings that break through binaries - disrupters who destabilize the reality we thought we knew all too well
- magical holders of the mystery traditions
- and embodiments of the unknowable and the beyond.
Sounds delicious, right? Join us!
