BAB 2024 is titled Nurture Gaia after one of the many personifications of Mother Earth, her various historical expressions as a symbol of mother, nurturer, and giver of life, reaches across time and links cultures. Beyond Gaia’s mythic and mystical manifestations, she has also inspired scientific theories and philosophies.
BAB 2024 will focus on differences between nature and nurture, complex ideas of femininity and feminine values, and contemplative engagements with ecopolitics, animism, and the supernatural.
