\nLondon WC1H 8DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exhibition open Thursday – Saturday, 12PM – 6PM<\/strong>
\nPreview: 6:30PM – 9PM on Thursday 23 March<\/p>\n

Advances in technology \u2013 from atomic energy to the latest smartphones \u2013 are underpinned by a material reality that depends on extracting the planet\u2019s natural ores, driving a global mining industry. While the term conflict minerals<\/em> is most frequently used to describe the situation in Congo, where the mining of valuable minerals fuels violence and armed conflict, across the globe many different types of conflict and tension are unfolding in countries and communities inextricably connected to mining and the minerals trade. How are artistic inquiry and the eco- and geo-political aesthetics of art and film contributing to our understanding of conflict \u2013 on varied scales \u2013 within countries and communities affected by large-scale Anthropocenic and geopolitical forces.<\/p>\n

Showing throughout the exhibition, Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway<\/a>\u2019s film Kuannersuit; Kvanefjeld<\/em> (2016) is a work in-progress, forming the first part of the artists\u2019 long-term investigation into tensions and conflicts within the small, mostly indigenous, community of Narsaq near the Kvanefjeld plateau in southern Greenland; site of one of the richest rare earth mineral resources and uranium ore deposits in the world. The film portrays a community divided on the issue of uranium mining as a means of gaining autonomy, social progress and financial independence, in a region where traditional ways of living from the land and the sea are struggling to compete with big investments from foreign mining companies. The film explores the difficult decisions and trade-offs faced by a culture seeking to escape a colonial past and define its own identity in a globalised world. Kuannersuit; Kvanefjeld<\/em> was commissioned by Arts Catalyst.<\/p>\n

A series of discussions and study sessions accompanies the programme. More details can be found here<\/a>. You can read a review of the exhibition published in MAP Magazine<\/a> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Professor Lise Autogena<\/a> is an artist and a Professor of Cross-Disciplinary Art at the Cultural Communication and Computing Research Institute at Sheffield Hallam University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
