Podcast: Counter-extractivism: Poetics of remedy and transmission

Listen to the new episode of our podcast which was recorded during the event ⁠Counter Extractivism: Poetics of Remedy and Transmission⁠, part of the Planetary Poetics⁠ master programme – an initiative of Dorine van Meel and Framer Framed – at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

Featuring a discussion between guest tutor Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba Mukendi and Carla Kabamba the episode explores the intertwining histories of the world, Amsterdam, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kabamba shares her personal connection to the DRC, discussing the exploitation and suffering caused by colonialism and her efforts to stop the import of ‘blood minerals’ in Amsterdam. The episode highlights the urgency of addressing the violence and deforestation linked to mineral mining in DRC, emphasising both a critical awareness of global dependencies on these resources and her passionate advocacy for the country’s prosperity.

Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba Mukendi is a cultural practitioner and artistic coordinator at the art and research centre Atelier Picha in the DRC.

Carla Kabamba is a member of the Amsterdam City Council for Lijst Kabamba.
