“Conversations with Extractivism” is a symposium that brings together a group of artists, designers, and researchers with the aim of critically examining the practices, history, and concepts of “extractivism.”
Through multiple perspectives in the fields of art, design, performance, and architecture, the invited speakers will discuss the complexities of a worldview based on the extraction and exploitation of planetary resources — from matter, data, memories, to emotions — focusing on the impacts at both local and global scales.
