Event Details

What about bringing the Centraurs back?

They fascinate poets, archaelogists,inventors of video games. But, to judge from the old stories,when Centaurs meet humans, they are usually killed. With this violent history, why would Centaurs want to come back?

To welcome the Centaurs (and not to kill them), we need to see them differently. Pechaps we need to see ourselves as the centaurs see us.

Return of the Centaurs is a "field guide" to looking at the world as it looks back at us. Iti is an affectionate parody of empirical science's lack of self-reflection.

Join Paul Carter and Nikos Papastergiadis for the launch of Paul's New Book of fabulous writings and drawings
