"From Aesthetic Shock to Ethical Awakening: How an Environmental Artist and Activist Found Purpose",,"Environmental activist, photographer, and teacher Subhankar Banerjee recounts a time, shortly after moving to New Mexico, when he walked out of his house to encounter a small dead bird lying motionless on the porch. This humble, private moment of grief, confusion, and aesthetic complexity echoed the sensations he had previously felt while viewing Albert Pinkham Ryder’s 19th-century painting “The Dead Bird.” As Banerjee’s career has evolved to address the large-scale crisis of global biological annihilation, he still emphasizes that this small interaction between the human and non-human affected him profoundly and set him on a lifelong ethical journey.",,,,,"Subhankar Banerjee, environmental activist, photographer, and professor at the University of New Mexico",,,,,,subhankar-banerjee-aesthetics-ethics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"",,"Beyond Despair environmental humanities conference","Aesthetics,Art Museums,Dead Bird,Death,Environmental Justice,Ethics,Paintings,Photography,Ryder, Albert Pinkham,Santa Fe, New Mexico,The Phillips Collection,Washington, D.C.",https://humanitiesmoments.org/files/original/288/Unknown.jpeg,"Moving Image",,1,0
"On First Encountering Francis Bacon’s Paintings",,"The disturbing art of Irish-born British painter Francis Bacon often violates formal boundaries of the human. Consequently, a visit to a retrospective of Bacon’s work at the Hirschhorn Museum left Robert D. Newman deeply unsettled. As a humanities moment, this encounter compelled Newman to grapple with Bacon’s art, sorting through “contradictory emotions,” ultimately growing “as a being and as a self.” ",,"Francis Bacon's paintings at the Hirshhorn Museum",,,"Robert D.
