“What is Visionary Art?” – this is the territory of exploration that we are embarking upon – a library, research project, and developing network exploring the history, techniques and theory, regenerative culture, map making, consensus building, and fathoming the archetypes.

Complexity, Chaos & Emergent Order
September 6, 2021
