The Black Gold Tapestry

Sandra Sawatzky's contemporary work of art dramatizing the saga of oil through 220 feet of hand embroidery.

The Black Gold Tapestry

The paper also attempts to popularize(?) the term "slothwashing", coined in a Twitter discussion of #California oil lobbyist behavior!

Melissa Ragain on Petrocultures 2024

Ubiquity and concealment were twin themes of the gathering, which brought together researchers—many of whom are also activists—from across the humanities, arts, and social sciences to examine the role of fossil fuels in contemporary culture. The conference is the flagship event of the Petrocultures research group at the University of Alberta in Canada, founded in 2011 by Imre Szeman and Sheena Wilson.

Episode 5.6: Low Carbon Methods for Doing and Communicating Research With Dr Anne Pasek

This episode’s guest is Dr Anne Pasek, Canada Research Chair in Media, Culture, and Environment, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cultural Studies and the School of the Environment at Trent University. Dr Pasek is co-founder of the Low Carbon Research Methods Group, and she talks to Ariel all about what Low Carbon Research is (and can look like!), the “carbon footprint” of academic research, new innovative ways for research to respond to the climate crisis, the importance of zines, and even hosting her own solar server in her backyard!

#Klimakultur ist nicht zu haben ohne #Literatur

Wir sehen uns für unsere Festivals und sonstigen #Klimakultur Aktivitäten immer nach den interessantesten Autor:innen um und hatten auf unserem #ClimateCulturesFestival #Planetschreibtzurück auch den nigerianisch-amerikanischen Schriftsteller #HelonHabila zu Gast.

Helon Habila diskutierte mit dem britischen #Klimaaktivist und #Journalist #JamesMarriott und dem amerikanischen #Fotograf #HenryFair über #Klimakunst #Klimaaktivismus #Engagement in der Literatur und über die Möglichkeiten, diverse Denkweisen, Kunstformen, Genres und Gattungen im Kontext #Klimawandel unter einen Hut zu bekommen.

Unsere kuratorische Überschrift über diesem Kontext hieß #petrocultures und #Ölmoderne. Hier ein Link zu einem kurzen Videoclip mit #HelonHabila und von dort zu Panel 7

Wir erinnern hier an Helon Habila, weil er soeben zum #CuratorinResidence beim Internationalen Literaturfestival Berlin ernannt wurde
HERZLICHEN GLÜCKWUNSCH❤️

VIEL ERFOLG IN BERLIN

Interrogating the first oil age through photographs - Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies

What can the medium of photography contribute to our understanding of industrial whaling’s first oil age, and maybe to our relationship to our present mineral age? Espen Ytreberg, Professor of Media Studies at the University of Oslo, will give a talk based on his recent research on Norwegian whaling.

Debatt: – Norsk olje er sunn og ren

(Åpent for alle lesere) «Vår olje er bedre, vakrere og mer sympatisk. Mer norsk.»

@AskPippa Sounds terrible TBH, so thanks for enduring it and reporting back! A similar premise as #Occupied but global. Interesting for #petrocultures researchers!
