Tales from the Crust formed part of Extractable Matters, Arts Catalyst’s thematic strand exploring extractive capitalism and the politics that underlie its spatial infrastructure and logistics. The programme reflected on ways in which capitalism extracts and exploits both material and immaterial resources, such as minerals, labour, data, affects, cultures and resistance. Through exhibitions, artist residencies and public programmes, Extractable Matters provided a polyfunctional context for discussions inquiring how extractive infrastructures – as well as borders, conflicts and trades attached to them – impose uneven maps of power.
Tales from the Crust was supported by funding from Arts Council England, Pluriversal Radio and the CREAM (University of Westminster).
