Tyneside Cinema

Join us for the launch screening and Q&amp;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&amp;A from the team behind "Coal" – a short film weaving contemporary dance and archival imagery to explore coal extraction in the North East.Q&amp;A speakers: Sel MacLean, Jonny Curry, Megan Brown and Aaron Markwell (from "Coal").Artists: Sarah Adilah, Vania Qanita Damayanti, Sel MacLean, Jazmin Morris and Chris Tegho, Amanda Loomes, Kristo Robot.“Extraction Echoes” is a curated video programme with six video works from Indonesia and the UK that explore the histories and contemporaneities of extraction.The exhibition presents the complex relations surrounding extraction in the UK and Indonesian socio-cultural-geographical contexts. From the depletion of natural resources and the heritage of coal mining to folk tales, artistic positions invite us to reflect on our past, current and potential relationships with nature, whether harmonious, destructive or in an interlaced in-between.As landscapes are continuously modified by human interventions and the digital is becoming a global site of extraction, where each interaction has material consequences, the entanglement between humans and the environment can no longer be ignored. Drawing threads across spatial and temporal distances, the videos question this myriad of complex relations opening up the possibility of new beginnings. 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.
