In Extractive Terrains

Framer Framed

Film screening and discussion exploring imperialist, colonial and capitalist histories of extraction in Central Asia and Ukraine.

Together with researcher and curator Fabienne Rachmadiev, Framer Framed is happy to invite you to In Extractive Terrains on Saturday 3 June from 15:00-17:00. The afternoon features film screenings and discussion exploring imperialist, colonial and capitalist histories of extraction in Central Asia and Ukraine with artists Haider Mukhit, Aiym Zaishshylyk and Darya Tsymbalyuk. __In Extractive Terrains invites artists and researchers who are from and work with the environments of Central Asia and Ukraine, regions which share a past of Russian imperialism and colonialism in connection with their natural resources. Since independence in 1991 coal, crude oil and natural gas have been sources of income as well as sites of contestation for the biggest players of the fossil fuel industry. Much less visible or discussed is the environmental cost of these various legacies, which have laid the structures for further extraction and contamination in the future.Both regions are also rich in critical materials needed for the green energy transition, with Central Asia holding almost 40% percent of the global reserves of minerals such as copper, chromium and manganese. Kazakhstan, in particular, is one of the world’s largest producers of uranium. Meanwhile, Ukraine holds large reserves of lithium, and has been colonised for its natural resources, such as coal, with (environmental) consequences felt to this day. Artistic practice and research offer a space where these different dimensions are made graspable and are presented as in relation/entangled with one another. Programmed in the context of Framer Framed’s exhibition Charging Myths – exploring the effects of lithium mining in Manono, DRC – this event takes a broadened view of the implications of extractivist structures across different territories. __This event is produced in collaboration with <a href="https://asca.uva.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ASCA (Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis) </a>of the University of Amsterdam.Image: Untitled (2019), Darya Tsymbalyuk.
