Decades of work about environmental issues inspired my ‘Eco-Art’ course. Coming to terms with my identity as a person of colour, raised to be white, and making work about those issues encouraged my class in ‘Cultural Identity and Art’. ‘Labour, Globalisation and Art’ emerged from my installations about unemployment and nine-to-five life, as well as 17 INTERVIEW WITH BEVERLY NAIDUS my work as an activist within the global justice movement. ‘The Artist as Visionary and Dreamer’ was inspired by my work in dream groups, as well as my long history of making art about dreams and nightmares and my desire to help students imagine a world quite different from Hollywood’s dystopian futurism.
So, it’s difficult for me sometimes to make the point that it’s far sexier to operate in the margins, being in touch with people, acting in concrete contexts, bringing producers and public closer to each other, thinking about the local and about education as a highly political activity, and so on. I also understand that it’s very abstract for them. I’ve been assessing a selforganised cultural project in the suburbs of Oaxaca city and decided to dedicate this year to it and there I’ve seen that students from Mexico City, through getting to know and living the experience of this ‘lab’, understand the liberty and limits of creation in a self-organised context.
Meditation practices, yoga, sweat lodge ceremonies, dream work and earthbased rituals all have offered me spiritual nourishment and added to my art practice. Here in Seattle, my dance community has given me a space in which to express things that I can’t say with words or images; they taught me about “contact improvisation” – a concept that I have taken into the studio, creating balance and tension between objects, dreams, textures, ideas, colours and feelings. My husband, Bob Spivey, who aside from being an extraordinary partner and stalwart activist, scholar, poet and a lay Buddhist monk, introduced me to social ecology and the many passionate activists, scholars and teachers from the Institute for Social Ecology.
