Extraction/Exclusion

Extraction/Exclusion critiques the idea of inclusion as the solution to exclusion in contemporary resource extraction.

Extraction/Exclusion portrays how inclusionary language and practices often result in further exclusions, concealing unchanged systems of domination and dispossession, and reproducing violent exploitative processes on the ground.
