Post-extractivist

The workshop brings together scholars, artist-researchers, and filmmakers to explore how moving images reveal and challenge extractivism while experimenting with post-extractivist propositions. We focus on non-fiction practices -including collaborative, observational, investigative, and experimental documentaries and essay films- and how they render the logics, infrastructures, temporalities, and affective dimensions of extraction visible while tracing resistance and imagining forms of life and organisation beyond extractivism.










MOVING [IMAGES] POST-EXTRACTIVISM
Moving [Images] Post‑Extractivism is a year‑long programme centred on moving images to think with and against contemporary regimes of extraction. Across a lab, a film series, and a workshop, we ask: How can moving images reveal the ecologies of extractive violence while reconfiguring what we see, feel, and do? How can cinema help imagine post‑extractive world configurations?

Post-extractivism, as both a framework and a horizon, points toward forms of life and organisation that move beyond the ongoing devastation of territories and communities in the name of so-called necessary resources, progress, and development.
