“Through an understanding of what the Goddess was, we can better understand nature and we can build our ideologies so it will be easier for us to live.” –— Marija Gimbutas
Public screening of “Signs Out of a Time,” a documentary by Donna Reed and Starhawk about the life and work of archeologist Marija Gimbutas.
Drawing on her extensive knowledge of mythology and linguistics, Gimbutas uncovered evidence of life-affirming and goddess-worshiping cultures in pre-historic Europe.
The film explores how her notions of European prehistory challenged many traditional assumptions about the beginnings of European civilization.
The film features interviews with both her supporters and critics, and explores her studies, excavations and publications, her extensive scholarship, and the controversy surrounding her theories.
Film screening with conversation, hosted by local mythologist Catherine Svehla.
$5 suggested donation. Brings snacks to share if you’re so inclined. See you at the Beatnik!
