Arts and anti-extractive policies in Latin America, Centre d’Art la Panera, Lleida, Spain

In this presentation, Macarena Gómez-Barris traces the practices of Indigenous activists, intellectuals and artists that take place in extractive zones (regions of South America known for their biodiversity and a long history of exploitative extraction of natural resources), which resist and reject the terms of racial capital and the continuing legacies of colonialism.
Macarena Gómez-Barris is a writer and academic, with a focus on decolonial environmental humanities, authoritarianism and extractivism, Latina queer epistemes, media environments, racial ecologies, cultural theory and artistic practice.
The presentation is preceded by a visit to the solo exhibition of the artist Ignacio Acosta, From Mars to Venus. 13th Leandre Cristòfol Art Biennial – Prologue, curated by María Íñigo Clavo and Christian Alonso.
