Soil, Dust, Fear, Rhythm
Soil, Dust, Fear, Rhythm traces the marks and scars - as well as open wounds - of colonialism in ecology. Ecosystems, territorial engineering, soil, air and water bear witness as black boxes to the ways in which they have been transformed, contaminated, plundered and/or exhausted by an overlapping logic of capitalism, extractivism and colonialism.
Through the practice of artists, poets and architects, the four sessions address the traces (material, geological, imaginary or sound) left by these forms violence; the methodologies, technologies or artistic operations that make them visible; the cycles of toxicity and regeneration; the myths and stories that populate these scenarios of exploitation, and the forms of resistance or utopian imagination.
