'Minerva and the Whir' Pamphlet
The story follows Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, poetry and music as she wakes and wanders the earth, seeking to understand, feeling both enamored with and disgusted by humanity. The story flirts with ancient mythology, fantasy, magic and spirituality wrapped in a dystopian veil. Commenting on identity politics and class issues, the 5,000-word tale highlights the inequality and hypocrisy of society, questioning the cult of consumption and greed that often fuels our current world view. The story and the additional six poems, Minerva Wakes, She Dances, Clay Mounds, Or Rather, A Rainbow Trickles, As We Turn, and Only Flow explore the impact of technological development and globalisation on humanity, considering where these could lead in light of our fragile reality when faced with extremes of the fanciful.
Minerva and the Whir is part of a multi-artform project that includes an album of music, visual art and spoken word poetry. The album and pamphlet are available for purchase here.
