On Thursday evening, Decmeber 7, POST is organising an in-depth event titled 'ECHO'. Throughout this event, individuals from diverse professional backgrounds will illuminate the theme of the exhibition Symbiosis Series: What do we take from the earth and how do we deplete it? Marina Sulima, Karolien van Teijlingen and Marjolein Pijnappels will each have twenty minutes to share their thoughts on this topic, providing a mosaic of perspectives.
Marina Sulima
Marina Sulima uses illustration, animation, textiles, sculpture and film to tell stories about worlds that seem derailed. This translates into animated narratives with absurd logic in which fact and fiction alternate. For this, she draws inspiration from speculative maps, found manuals or encyclopaedias but also from seemingly insignificant things like shrimp ears, mined stones or tomatoes. She uses these everyday or, on the contrary, alienating objects to explore the landscapes of a globalised and ecologically damaged world.
Sulima grew up in Moldova and currently lives and works in Groningen. In 2020, she obtained her bachelor's degree in illustration from Academy Minerva Groningen. Besides her art practice, she gardens, collects seeds and gives art workshops to children. Since 2020, she has been working on an essay film about tomatoes and different ways of being in the world with them, produced by Manon Bovenkerk, NearBy Film. She is also working with Olivia D'Cruz and Belangtelon Initiative for Noorderlicht Gallery on an ongoing project on extraction.
During ECHO she’ll present her artistic practice while taking the public along in pickling vegetables.
Karolien van Teijlingen
Karolien van Teijlingen is a human geographer and an assistant professor at Radboud University. Her work has been focused on the political ecology of resource extraction and alternatives to development in Latin America, particularly Ecuador. Recently, she shifted her focus to the politics of climate change, the energy transition and questions of climate justice in Latin America. I am particularly interested in the new commodity frontiers and geographies of dispossession and extraction that result from ‘net-zero’ policies endorsed by (mainly Western) governments and corporations. She also continues to be involved in debates about post-development, alternatives to development and proposals for radical socio-ecological transformation, with special attention to Buen Vivir in Ecuador and Degrowth in The Netherlands. In addition to research, she teaches courses related to political ecology, environmental justice, climate politics, and the philosophy of science.
Marjolein Pijnappels
Marjolein Pijnappels is a researcher, teacher, designer and storyteller. She founded platform wondermash for co-creating future stories for a regenerative, equal and resilient world, based on a deep ecology approach. She has a Master's degree in marine ecology and was a researcher in the first two Dutch research programs in the field of climate change, where she focused on transdisciplinary co-creation of climate knowledge.
As a senior designer and founder of information design studio Lakmoes, she has more than fifteen years of experience in designing with complex information, creating future scenarios, participatory projects and giving lectures and workshops. Marjolein teaches at Radboud University and the Royal College of Art in London.
