InhalteExtractivism describes an economy that has an enormous impact on environmental and social systems and rarely delivers the benefits it promises. The Summer School “Remote Guide to Extractivism” will place students in multiple sites of extractivism across the world over the course of 2 weeks to investigate and map processes occurring simultaneously in the past, present, and future.
A network of companion studios operating in Melbourne, Taipei and Athens will investigate similar extractive sites in their local context. Students in Melbourne, Australia will travel to the wide, arid landscapes of the remote Wimmera region and work with local communities in place. Students in Taipei will exchange with indigenous people in Hualien, the east of tropical Taiwan, where mountainous terrains encounter the wideopen sea. Students joining the European studio will explore Elefsina, the site of the ancient Eleusinian Mysteries and now an industrial town north of Athens, Greece. Participants will test various methods and develop tools for dealing with complexity of what defines extractivism beyond its material effects. They will also register its invisible manifestations and broader ramifications on the land and the cultures it disrupts. Collaborative mapping of supply chains (local ⁄ national ⁄ planetary), geologies (temporality ⁄ deep time ⁄ entropy), futures (projection ⁄ speculations ⁄ prediction), and effects (cultural and ecological implications, scales) of extractive processes in each one of these specific sites will be translated into artistic practice. The two-week intensive programme will conclude with a symposium and an online exhibition ⁄ festival..
