Abstract :

The artists in the exhibition understand the continuous development of collective structures as a strategy to resist extractivism. Along three thematic strands - transformation of land into raw material, confrontation with the colonial archive, and transformative forms of transmission - the artists develop worksthat re-establish interrupted knowledge chains, explore the effects of global profit maximization, and show cultural memory in processes of constant reconfiguration
and reinvention.

Based on a concept by Lotte Arndt and Sammy Baloji
