Climate & Colonialism
The Climate & Colonialism project works towards new and interdisciplinary understandings of visual and material culture produced around and in response to the interrelated and enduring histories of colonialism, capitalism and climate change. Bringing together a range of media – including painting, sculpture, video, performance, architecture and photography – and time periods –, this project takes an intersectional approach in which overlapping systems of oppression are considered in dialogue with the past, present and future.
