Extractivism has increasingly become the ground on which activists
and scholars in Latin America frame the dynamics of ecological
devastation, accumulation of wealth, and erosion of rights. These
maladies are the direct consequences of long-standing
extraction-oriented economies, and more recently from the expansion
of the extractive frontier and the implementation of new
technologies in the extraction of fossil fuels, mining, and
agriculture. But the fields of sociology, political ecology,
anthropology, and geography have largely ignored the role of art
and cultural practices in studies of extractivism and
post-extractivism. The field of art theory, on the other hand, has
offered a number of texts that put forward insightful analyses of
artwork addressing extraction, environmental devastation, and the
climate crisis. However, an art theory perspective that does not
engage firsthand and in depth with collective action remains
limited and fails to provide an account of the role, processes, and
politics of art in anti- and post-extractivist movements. Creating
Worlds Otherwise examines the narratives that subaltern groups
generate around extractivism, and how they develop, communicate,
and mobilize these narratives through art and cultural practices.
It reports on a six-year project on creative resistance to
extractivism in Argentina and builds on long-term engagement
working on environmental justice projects and campaigns in
Argentina and the UK. It is an innovative contribution to the
fields of Latin American studies, political ecology, cultural
studies, and art theory, and addresses pressing questions regarding
what post-extractivist worlds might look like as well as how such
visions are put into practice.
