Insights is an interview show featuring members of the ARC community. This week our guest is Kythe Heller, a poet, scholar, and interdisciplinary artist.
Kythe is a poet, essayist, interdisciplinary artist and doctoral student in the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University, with a secondary field in Critical Arts and Media Practice. Her interdisciplinary academic research draws upon traditional Islamic, Judeo-Christian, Buddhist, and Indigenous mystical training and intellectual traditions, aesthetic theory and practice, existential-phenomenological anthropology, contemporary political theory and social, environmental, and technological philosophies. A guiding question is: In what ways can our efforts become sites of evolution, sites of resistance, parts of an array of realizing new social and ecological relationships by considering how to use language and creative practice to radically change our way of being in the world?
