Autor

Annie Besant was a British writer, activist, philanthropist, and orator. An advocate of Irish and Indian self-rule, she dedicated much of her life to both causes, while also fighting for social change within the United Kingdom. After meeting Helena Blavatsky— the founder of the Theosophical Society—in 1890, Besant herself converted to Theosophy; later becoming president of the society in 1907. In 1917, her campaigns for democracy in India led to her election as president of the Indian National Congress, a position she held for one year. She continued to publicize her support for Indian independence and theosophism until her death in 1933. Charles Webster Leadbeater was a former priest of the Church of England who would become best-known for his involvement with the Theosophical Society. He was noted for his work with clairvoyant investigations of life, often working closely with Annie Besant. He died in 1934. Lucy Lord Campana is an artist whose observational based painting practice explores the limits of our collective vision. Recent projects include images from the Hubble Space Telescope, a series around X-ray use in diamond mining, and methane detection with infrared technology. Campana holds a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in visual art from Columbia University. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
