About the event

Extraction Echoes Launch & Q&A
Join us for a screening of the Extraction Echoes exhibition followed by a Q&A with Sel MacLean's video 'Coal' filmed in the North East.

About this Event

Join us for the launch screening and Q&A of "Extraction Echoes", a video art exhibition presenting 6 works by UK and Indonesia-based artists. The informal screening will be followed by a Q&A from the team behind "Coal" – a short film weaving contemporary dance and archival imagery to explore coal extraction in the North East.


Artists: Sarah Adilah, Vania Qanita Damayanti, Sel MacLean, Jazmin Morris and Chris Tegho, Amanda Loomes, Kristo Robot.


“Extraction Echoes” invites us to reflect on the complex relations surrounding extraction in the UK and Indonesian socio-cultural-geographical contexts, presenting video works that emphasise the interconnection between humans and our environments. From the depletion of natural resources and the heritage of coal mining to folk tales, the range of artistic positions invites us to reflect on our past, current and potential relationships with nature, whether harmonious, destructive or in an interlaced in-between. 

As the Palu landscape is visibly modified by human intervention and the digital is becoming a global site of extraction, where each interaction has material consequences, landscapes continue to be shaped by human activities. Drawing threads across spatial and temporal distances, the videos question this myriad of complex relations and represent the possibility of a new beginning. How can we rebuild a broken kinship?


The event is free and will take place at the Tyneside Cinema Coffee Room.


Extraction Echoes is a collaborative project betwen Videocity UK (Newcastle) and Forum Sudutpandang (Palu, Indonesia) supported by the British Council’s Connections Through Culture grant programme.
