Hippie Modernism: Michael Pollan and Simon Sadler in Conversation

In conjunction with the exhibition "Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia" at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), journalist and best-selling author Michael Pollan was joined by noted architectural and urban historian Simon Sadler to discuss the history and new use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes, the subject of Pollan’s new book and an area illuminated by Sadler’s investigation of the philosophy he calls “hippie holism.” The conversation touched on the counterculture pursuit of “evolved consciousness” and cultural outcomes ranging from the San Francisco Summer of Love to Bay Area ecology and eco-psychology movements. Moderated by Greg Castillo, guest curator of Hippie Modernism.
