Paydirt Seminars
Concurrent with the exhibition, I organized a public seminar series over zoom. These brought together academics, activists, land defenders, artists, designers, and film-makers. These online talks were dedicated to recognizing the interconnections between finance, resource extraction, colonialism, and art.
