~ vode su život ~ apilji sunt vijaca ~ waters are life ~
Reflecting on de-extractivist poetics in solidarity with the (semi-)periphery

Abstract:

The lecture-performance emerges from mirko nikolić's artistic research project centring environmental in/justice in the Balkans. The research followed the current wave of expansion of “nature resource” industries from the perspective of social movements contesting these new/old forms of extractivism<https://blogs.mediapart.fr/berliner-gazette/blog/140622/no-cheaps-here-not-anywhere-after-extractivism-semi-periphery>, the violent mechanisms of the international division of wealth and labour, and the associated eco-social impacts.

The performances alongside the impacted waterways and communities examine the possibilities and limits of a knowledge and cultural practice to weave a joint narrative of collective manual labours of environmental and climate justice. The research project tries to methodologically and epistemically re(con)figure the positionality of situated knowledge production by a diasporic subjectivity in transnationalist solidarity with communities in the European semi-periphery and with the Most Affected Peoples and Areas.

The project was supported by Vetenskapsrådet grant for artistic research, and it was hosted at the Institute for Culture and Society at Linköping University (2020-23).
