247. Hilma af Klint, Leonora Carrington, & We the Future Audience with Mariola Rosario

In this episode, Britten is joined once again by Mariola Rosario for a conversation on channeled art, art history, mysticism, and the exciting timing of two major Paris exhibitions devoted to Hilma af Klint and Leonora Carrington.

Topics They Cover:

Mariola's early relationship with art, magical realism, the Caribbean, and the figure of the artist as someone who can conjure new realities.

Britten's path through art history, grief, Paris, Symbolist art, atomic science, and the study of what cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Hilma af Klint, the 2018 Guggenheim retrospective, and the "aperture" that seems to have opened around channeled artists and women whose work has long been omitted or minimized.

The role of spirit guides, collaboration, and unseen forces in Hilma's work, including the way her paintings are now being described with more respect for the mystical context they came through.

Leonora Carrington, surrealism, exile, the psychic world, and the women artists who were often placed at the margins of movements they helped shape.

Mariola's upcoming Leo season class on self-portraiture, authorship, symbols, and the solar invitation to put the self onto the page.

At the center of the conversation is the sense that we are in a moment of aperture: an opening that allows us to receive these artists so fully. Britten and Mariola speak to the hunger to know these women and their work, the importance of asking what has been omitted, and the creative partnerships that happen with both real humans and the invisible forces moving through the channel.
