Individual project description

This project brings together Latin American environmental defenders and artists to critically visualize the narratives of violence and resilience informed by wounded territories, landscapes damaged by armed conflict, extractive industries, deforestation, or climate change. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Gijs Cremers, Dr. Elisabet Rasch, Dr. Jesse Jonkman, and Dr. Floor van der Hout explore how new political forms, human-earth relationships, and practices of resistance or care emerge from these damaged landscapes. Activities include workshops, a seminar series, an exhibition, and the creation of a multimedia online archive to document and share stories, testimonies, and visual artworks from affected communities.
