Through facilitated conversation with co-curators and artists, this event will begin to weave together the threads that connect the contributions, and consider some collective learnings and potential future work. We will ask: what (unexpected) connections have been made and what kinds of questions have been raised?

We will draw upon the six themes explored through the exhibition and conversation (care, agency, temporalities, scales, inter-generational, and modes of engagement), and the event will be an opportunity to introduce and discuss newly-found intersections and ideas to nurture activism, creative engagements and research on the feminist political ecologies of extractivism.

The conversation will be part of the POLLEN20 Political Ecology Network virtual conference taking place from 22-25 September. It is co-hosted by ONCA and open to all.
