Dates: 3 – 5 July 2023
Times: 7:00 – 9:00 GMT on all three days
Location: A hybrid symposium taking place online, in Athens and Melbourne.
Conversations with Extractivism is a symposium that brings together an ensemble of artists, designers, and researchers to critically examine the practices, histories and concepts of ‘extractivism.’ Through multiple lenses within the domain of art, design, performance and architecture, invited speakers will discuss the complexities of a worldview based on the extraction and exploitation of planetary resources — from matter, to data, to memories, to emotions — focusing on the impacts at local and global scales.

Over three sessions, this international gathering will provide a space for dialogue that fosters a collaborative creative exploration of extractivist practices.
Looking into the themes of ‘place,’ ‘matter,’ and ‘action,’ the symposium will interrogate the social, ecological, and cultural implications of extractivist worldviews, opening up a space to evolve deeper insights and forge new approaches which can contribute to reciprocal, sustainable and equitable futures.

Each session invites three artists/researchers to share practices, stories and case studies for consideration, followed by questions and an open conversation.
This symposium builds upon the success of its 2022 edition, providing a platform for the transformative conversations and transdisciplinary exchanges that are at the heart of the Shared Campus | Critical Ecologies Group’s mission.

International Forum for Art and Sustainability: VIP Registration Form

1．Forum Introduction

Global climate change has been the biggest threat to sustainable development in recent years. Many countries have passed laws to achieve net zero by 2050 to solve the climate crisis. Taiwan is also joining the world by officially publishing “Taiwan’s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050” this year, aiming to control global warming altogether.

In addition, international performing arts and theatre industries are contributing to energy saving and carbon reduction through Art Climate Initiative. We all believe that climate change is a global crisis for which we all have the responsibility.

​​Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA), the first arts university in Taiwan, is a leading contemporary arts institution in Asia. Marking the 40th anniversary of the university, “TNUA 40th Anniversary : Initiating Art and Sustainability” will conduct an online “TNUA 40th Anniversary Forum: Art and Sustainability” conference in December 2022.

We attempt to invite more than twenty art and culture professionals in Taiwan and overseas to exchange their perspectives on seven issues in a two-day online forum: “Global Sustainable Transformation under the Climate Crisis”; “Sustainable Theatre Operations”; “Sustainable Productions”; “Circular Materials and Design”; “Sustainable Design”; “Sustainable Visual Arts” and “Sustainable Festivals.”

We also intend to explore the potential for art and sustainability, and connect Taiwan with the international cultural and creative industries to broaden the audience’s sustainability knowledge.

Conversations with … Extractivism

The Conversations with … Extractivism symposium will bring together an ensemble of researchers who explore the notion of ‘extractivism’ across different fields and through a myriad of forms, including (though not limited to):

– Supply chains at the scale of the local and global
– Extractive practices operating at micro and macro levels
– Enterprises that encompass the terrestrial and off-world
– Mining tangible natural resources such as rare earth minerals
– Examining the role of ‘sustainable futures’
– Interrogating scars that cut through the Earth and its inhabitants.

Crucial to considering ‘extractivism’ through these structures is an accountability for Indigenous struggles and propositions for degrowth, resistance, and emancipation.
Conversations with…Extractivism is a hybrid symposium collectively led by Dr Nicholas Mangan, Charity Edwards and Dr Eduardo Kairuz from Monash University’s Faculty of Art Design & Architecture (MADA), as part of the planetary Shared Campus: Critical Ecologies group. It will be hosted in-person at Monash University’s Caulfield Campus and simultaneously online with our international partners in Zurich, Athens, Taipei, London and elsewhere.

Keynote speakers will be Dr Alonso Barros and Dr Susan Schuppli. The full programme will be announced shortly. This event is open to public and free of charge.
