Summary

Today's History Story: This Deity Reminds Us Of The Importance Of Our Ancestors For millenia, mythologies and religions of the world have predicted a great calamity–an event so catastrophic that it will stop the world as we know it and bring forth the apocalypse. If the natural disasters, racial injustices, and widespread wars of today are any indiciation, one could say those mythological predictions were correct. One could say we are, in fact, living in the end of times. Today’s guest sure would. Li Sumpter is a mythologist, eco-activist, and multi-disciplinary artist who is confronting earthly challenges, like racial injustice, food shortages, war, natural disasters, and other atrocities, through what she calls the art of survival. Using D.I.Y. media, afrofuturism, and gameplay to cultivate eco-awareness and community action, she’s tackling real and imagined existential threats to mind, body and spirit, offering practical and creative solutions that we can use now to survive an apocalypse. You can learn more about Li’s eco- and survival art, like Graffiti in the Grass, and other initiatives at www.mythmediastudios.art.
