Counter-extractivism: Poetics of remedy and transmission
We invite you on 29 April 2024 to Framer Framed to mark the closing of guest tutor and researcher Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba Mukendi’s seminar within the Planetary Poetics master’s programme of the Sandberg Institute. Jean-Sylvain is project and artistic coordinator at art and research centre Atelier Picha. This closing event will feature a performance by Congolese artist Sarah Ndele, an open discussion with guests and artistic renderings of their collective and reflexive journey.
If the Democratic Republic of Congo is an invention, how can it be free? The country provides a large array of key mineral resources to the world for the ‘technological progress’ or energy transition of the current postmodern era. Its condition and fate are therefore inextricably linked to global politics.
The Planetary Poetics programme, in partnership with Atelier Picha, has probed the lasting and extended extraction zone of cultural and techno-political relations that keep the country in dire circumstances. During the course of this seminar, Atelier Picha’s coordinator Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba Mukendi invited students to collectively and artistically come up with a critical, engaged and holistic frame of action that takes into account the interrelated and planetary relevance of the matter, from extraction to waste (management).
Gather with us for a moment of restitution, exchange and transmission in solidarity with the millions of displaced, diggers and war victims in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
