Mining Conversations
The Futurepasts of ... Shale Oil and Gas
Mining Conversations | The Futurepasts of … invites you to their fifth session – this time on Shale Oil and Gas. Mining Conversations are an open monthly online space for exchanges and collaborations across practices, temporalities, and across extraction and energy landscapes.
The next session will take place on September 22, 8pm (CEST), please register via the link here.
Each session connects different perspectives to better understand the social, material, technological, and environmental forces at play. The series seeks to provide the needed space for cross-practice, international and reflective conversations about mining among artists, academics, activists, and other persons interested in mining.
