Artist Residency
La Becque
Switzerland
Jan-June 2019
—
For La Becque residency I will expand and extend my ongoing investigation into how drone technologies can help detect and monitor negative extractivist industrial impact on valuable natural environments in the indigenous lands of the Sámi people, which are difficult to access and make visible without such drone technologies. It builds on already established international alliances rooted in struggles of indigenous and non-indigenous activists that interact with natural processes through the use of technology in Sápmi. Addressing issues related to the ecology of the Anthropocene, I will use the residency at La Becque as a platform to foster new collaborations and dialogues within Switzerland.
