Prof. Syowia Kymabi, who has been teaching at the AdBK Nuremberg as part of a top professorship since November 2023, has been invited as a speaker.
The symposium is a collaboration between the Climate & Colonialism research project at the Paul Mellon Centre and Autograph ABP.
The arts have long been concerned with highlighting the ongoing histories of resource extraction and its repercussions. This symposium asks: what next? By bringing together researchers, artists, designers and activists from a range of backgrounds, this event will consider local projects in intersectional, granular detail, to collectively re-evaluate the relationship between the arts, extraction and activism, both historically and in the present.
The two days are framed around three broad themes: Colonial and extractive histories, Reparative and fragile ecologies, Environmental justice and legal rights.
