🗺️ Online via Zoom
Our reading groups are back 👋 Join us for an online reading group with V’cenza Cirefice, an artist, activist and academic who explores resistance to extracticisim within her work.
V’cenza will share a group of readings that explore the concept of extractivism, extractive logics and possible alternatives. We’ll approach this through a decolonial, post-extractivist and feminist perspective, and take a look at how extractivism plays out in the context of Ireland.
