Join us for talks by Erika Teichert and Tim Kindberg and a film by Close and Remote.
This event brings together two short talks (20mins each) and a film (65mins) that interrogate how capitalism and its colonial legacies continue to shape our relationship with the planet, technology and each other. Across Latin American geopolitics, digital culture, and collective art-making, the speakers and artists explore how extractivism - of resources, data and human attention - drives both climate breakdown and social alienation. Each contribution asks what alternatives might emerge if we rethink our systems of production, ownership and imagination.
