Evidentiary Tools for Indigenous Struggles Against Green Colonialism.
This project supports indigenous communities that are facing environmental and cultural threats from extractivist activities, specifically hydrogen plants in Namibia and mining operations in Canada.
Combining local knowledges with digital tools and interdisciplinary methods, the researchers will investigate neo-colonial exploitation in the guise of green energy transition.
The Forensic Architecture agency (industry partner) whose pioneering methods of spatial reconstruction have shed light on human rights abuses globally will work with indigenous communities to develop practical tools for mapping, documenting, and defending the complex life worlds that are currently being threatened by such extractivist incursions in these regions.
The project will produce tools of resistance, tools to strengthen indigenous sovereignty and campaigns for realising just climate futures.
