Opening: Exhibition opening: The Island, the Mine, and the Resistance Gardens
Crystal Bennes, Mohamed Sleiman LabatFotogalleriet invites you to the opening of The Island, the Mine, and the Resistance Gardens by Crystal Bennes with Mohamed Sleiman Labat.
The exhibition brings together existing and new work that shape another chapter of the larger, ongoing research project We Eat the Earth. The project explores the relationship between agriculture, extraction, ecology, and power. Focusing on phosphate fertiliser as both material and political agent, the project examines how systems of food production shape landscapes, environments, and social structures across different geographical contexts.
Through a series of interconnected case studies in Sweden, Western Sahara and Algeria, the project traces global flows and consequences of industrial agriculture, linking historical processes of colonialism and resource extraction to contemporary environmental and political crises.
The opening event is free and open to all.
